Participants from across the
State and beyond.
Participants
engage in visual
arts, music, dance
and theater.
Participants include art teachers,
elementary classroom teachers
and teachers of other subjects who
want to integrate the arts.
Participants work
in small groups
with experienced
teachers as
leaders.
Janine Moore, Chadron, and
Sharon Seim, Omaha, have been
group leaders for 19 years.
“I believe that you can
integrate dance, visual
arts and music into all
subject areas. Not only
will the students connect
more with what is being
taught, they will enjoy
the process as well.”
