Abstract

Year Four of the Art TEAMs grant was designed to continue the professional learning for cohort two while following cohort one to measure implementation sustainability. Our second cohort of educators is excited about the program. It brings great diversity in art forms, including five ceramics teachers, a digital media teacher, and generalists from career and technical education and family and consumer science. This diversity of teaching domains helps illustrate the versatility and impact of the arts across K-12 curricula. We have revamped our professional learning curriculum and the process of learning from the educators who take part in the program. We believe that the process of co-creating an emergent professional learning is one of the most important outcomes of our curriculum development, as it exposes the processes that can support co-creation, making the curriculum adaptable across contexts. Finally, our dissemination efforts have culminated in multiple presentations at conferences, publications, and awards.
