Arts Education

K-12 Educators

Overview

A key goal of Arts for All is to improve quality of teaching and learning.

K-12 educators are vital partners in this initiative, and Arts for All offers a number of resources that link teachers to quality arts education programming for their students and help strengthen professional development in the arts. LAArtsEd.org, an interactive website launched in 2004, provides a number of tools for educators interested in bringing the arts to their classroom:

• The Arts Education Program Directory allows teachers and administrators to find quality, standards-based, vetted K-12 arts education field trips, residencies, and workshops in LA County.
• Tools and Resources provides a searchable database of local and national resources on systemic arts education.
• Designing the Arts Learning Community: a Handbook for K-12 Professional Development Planners is a guide to designing arts education professional development and includes a searchable database of more than 50 arts learning communities.
