Professional Development for Classroom Teachers

ARTsTeach, a collaboration among UApresents and Arizona Theater Company, Tucson Museum of Art and the Tucson Symphony Orchestra, offers classroom teachers a week of discovery and learning about the arts. During this summer arts immersion week, teachers spend a day at each of these arts organizations where they have the opportunity to interact with art and artists. In addition, free fall and spring in-services by local teaching artists assist teachers in developing curriculum connections and enhancing the student experience of the school matinee performance. Teachers are provided with a study guide based on Arizona state arts education and core curriculum standards.

Artists in the Classroom

UApresents provides local teaching artists to work on-site with selected schools in conjunction with their attendance at a school matinee. We also bring touring artists to the classroom for experiences ranging from informal talks to master classes. These touring artists also provide workshops and master classes for UA students.
