SPA offers professional development opportunities to all K-12 teachers through workshops on incorporating the arts into any classroom setting, as well as expanding existing arts curricula. These workshops will be held in conjunction with the Broadway Across America performances of Cirque Dreams: Illumination, as well as the SPA presentations of Mark Morris Dance Group, STOMP and Soweto Gospel Choir.

Workshop leaders integrate various Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS), including Art, Dance, ESL, Music, Social Studies and Spanish into the curricula, and the workshops provide yet another opportunity for the lifelong learning that teachers support and are involved in themselves. Teachers in Texas must regularly be involved in their own professional development to respond to the changing nature of education, schools, and students. Certificates for Professional Staff Development will be given to all registered participants for fulfilling requirements for the Texas Education Agency’s Professional Development and Appraisal System (PDAS).



The $25 registration fee covers parking, materials and lunch.
