Triple Play: Literacy and the Arts
April 17-18, 2010
Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota
Explore the worlds of opera, orchestral music and visual art in a joint teacher workshop with the Minnesota Opera, Minnesota Orchestra and the Weisman Art Museum.
Attend an intensive weekend of concerts and sessions, designed to reinvigorate your teaching with new ideas and practices for supporting critical and creative thinking in the classroom. With a focus on critically responding to works of art, this weekend provides tools and materials that can help students practice making meaning from a variety of art forms. We'll explore literacy beyond the boundaries of written text to look at the literate skills and habits built and deepened through visual and performing art experiences.
The workshop is recommended for all K-12 educators and currently enrolled education majors. This workshop presents insights from empirically based educational research in literacy learning and requires a commitment to participate in all three sessions.
