Professional Development


Professional development is essential for educators to stay informed of new research and practices in the field of education. Access to resources and development opportunities will improve many aspects of the teaching and learning experience and students will be provided with the benefits that lead to academic success.
Conventions and classes provide opportunities to discuss relevant issues and concerns while creating connections with experts in the field and the art education community.  These experiences encourage personal growth and reevaluation of current methods and philosophies.
Staying informed of the opportunities available to art educators and advocating for personal development is also important. The National Art Education Association provides professional development resources for visual arts education and organizes events and conventions that work to promote, develop and connect art educators. Becoming a member of an established professional community will allow you to stay informed about a variety of different professional development opportunities.
