ARTS & EDUCATION FORUM

| Educators today are challenged to rethink their practice and refine their teaching skills to deepen student understanding in a world that is constantly changing. Teachers, students, and artists are confronted daily with the need to adapt, rework, or retool in order to stay current and relevant. SCEA’s sixth annual Arts & Education Forum at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga will challenge educators, artists, and technologists to critically and creatively explore current and future practice in education, art making, and professional development. |
