Arts Advantage 2011 -2012
Visual and Performing Arts Opportunities for the Elementary Teacher
Arts Advantage districts provide a well-rounded education for every child which includes the arts.
Teachers from these districts have developed sequential, standards-based curricula in dance, music,
theatre, and visual arts for the K-6 classroom. Arts Advantage is pleased to offer these trainings on
scholarship from our funders.
To maximize benefits to your school, plan to send at least one teacher from each grade level
to a curriculum training as this builds your capacity to provide a sequential program with
lasting impact!
