August 6 @ 9:00 am - 4:00 pm
Join us for another outstanding season of Professional Development!
The Mansfield Kennedy Center Partners in Education Team is proud to offer high-quality professional learning designed to support local school systems. This year’s two-day Summer Professional Development Institute is open to all area teachers and school administrators, offering an energizing opportunity to earn contact hours toward Continuing Education Credits (CEUs).
Workshops will be held at the Renaissance Theatre on 6th, with primary grade workshops presented from 9:00 am until 12:00 pm for kindergarten through 2nd grade teachers; and intermediate grade workshops held from 1:00 pm until 4:00 pm for 3rd-8th grade teachers. During sessions, teachers will explore ways in which they can integrate the arts into their curriculum, discover strategies to create accessible, engaging lessons, and participate in hands-on sessions designed to inspire and empower–all while collaborating with fellow educators!
Contact hour verification for CEUs are available for participants. For more information, call 419-522-2726 ext. 212 or email [email protected].
