  • Session B1. Expanding the Narrative: The PD/Residency Model

    Ballroom C

    In this session, the presenters will give an overview of the model in which staff in schools or school districts participate in professional development training combined with a residency, share an arts integrated activity, and have attendees reflect on how they can implement the same strategy.  

  • Session B2. Lessons Learned Through Dance: The Impact of Our RAISE Program Grant

    Ashlawn South

    This session offers an inside look at a RAISE dance residency for elementary students in a school without an existing dance program. It will explore the project’s approach, the stories that emerged from both students and the teaching artist, and the impact these narratives had on the school community.

  • Session B3. The Odd Couple: Data Collection and Arts Education

    Ashlawn North

    “Data” doesn’t only mean test scores, it’s about impact, it’s about holistic student experience. This session is in response to the oft-clerical evaluations, and how it doesn’t need to be like that all of the time.
