VisitingScholars & ArtistsAs part of the Inner-City Arts–Annenberg Professional Development program, Inner-City Arts presents nationally and internationally renowned educators, researchers, and artists. These experts speak on current trends, practices, and research in their disciplines, and discuss the relevance of this work to the public school context. The Visiting Scholars and Artists Series has been developed to provide classroom teachers, teaching artists, arts administrators, school administrators, and district administrators with the opportunity to learn about new discoveries, new perspectives and best practices in arts education. |
