ArtsNow to Host June Foundational Seminar to Help Teachers Convey Core Curriculum Concepts Through the Arts
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) June 08, 2015 -- ArtsNow is pleased to announce it will hold its Foundational Seminar June 9-11th. This two and a half day professional learning opportunity invites teams of educators (K-12) to explore arts-integrated instructional strategies aligned to Common Core and Fine Arts Standards.
