The United Arts Council of Raleigh and Wake County is proud to announce that it will host its first annual Arts Integration Institute for elementary schools from Monday, June 19 - Friday, June 23, 2006 at the North Carolina Museum of Art. Each school selected for the Institute will have the chance to send a team of four participants-an administrator, an arts teacher, a classroom teacher and a parent-to study with some of the best artist-educators in the state.
In a five-day arts immersion experience, these teams will learn practical ways to use the arts in every area of the Standard Course of Study. By the close of the Institute, every team will have developed a plan to share what they have learned with the rest of their school. In addition, artist-educators from the Institute will visit the school during the year to provide additional staff development.
