The SmartARTS Arts Integration Training Institute Year 2 is a three-day advanced training for GCS participants who have previously attended the Year 1 Institute. Participants will deepen their understanding of the use of effective arts integration throughout the curriculum to increase student engagement and learning. This training is for teachers in all academic and related arts subjects from 4K through high school. SmartARTS pairs Year 2 teachers with a SmartARTS Roster teaching artist to co-plan an arts integrated unit of study that the pair will team-teach in the classroom. All SmartARTS Year 2 teachers must plan and implement a unit for the 2018 - 2019 school year. Unit supplies and artist fees are included for participating teachers. THE SMARTARTS YEAR 2 INSTITUTE IS HELD ON JULY 24 - 26, 2018 AT THE FINE ARTS CENTER. The $25 registration fee and all forms must be to the Metropolitan Arts Council no later than May 23, 2018. Spaces are limited. For more information contact Gayla Day at MAC at 864-467-3132.
