Connected Arts Network (CAN) Project
|
|
CAN is a multi-year grant initiative, funded by the US Department of Education to create nationwide virtual Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) with educators in visual arts, music, theater, dance, and media arts. The purpose of CAN is to build a sustainable model of professional learning for arts educators in public schools and public charters to strengthen their pedagogy, instruction, and leadership skills in order to better serve students.
In Fall 2023, EdTA is recruiting 150 educators to serve as PLC participants! These PLCs will meet virtually each month of the school year starting in January 2024 through June 2026 and will focus on professional learning in the areas of equity, diversity, and inclusion; social-emotional learning; and teacher leadership through an arts education lens.
If you are interested in furthering your instructional capacity, serving each unique student's needs, and leveraging the arts in your school for greater impact, please consider joining CAN! We look forward to connecting you to arts educators around the country through a discipline-specific PLC. As we collaborate on curricula and support each other's growth, we will also create tools and resources from what we learn that will benefit arts educators around the country.
Connect with colleagues nationwide through online Professional Learning Communities. Together through the arts, we CAN make a difference in student learning!
