WELCOME
Ingenuity and the CPS Department of Arts Education are thrilled to once again
collaborate on providing a comprehensive catalog of professional learning workshops,
events, and opportunities for all stakeholders in Chicago’s arts education ecosystem.
We are proud to announce that this year, we are offering the most extensive and
ambitious agenda of professional learning yet with over 60 events, all free of charge,
and informed by your wants and needs.
Last year, in addition to partnering on various professional learning events, we also
successfully collaborated on the first ever arts partner and teacher Arts Education
Conference. Due to the success of that event, and the feedback garnered from the
community, we’ve expanded opportunities for shared learning and collaboration amongst
the school and arts partner community in this year’s offerings. We will once again present
an Arts Education Conference that builds on our previous success. We’re also excited
to roll out redesigned Arts Liaison offerings and incorporate more hands-on art making
opportunities into the catalog of learning.
The catalog is organized by learning threads:
1. Teaching and Learning in the Arts
The offerings in this thread are all about advancing quality arts teaching and
learning practices across the city of Chicago.
2. Partnership Practices
This thread of learning will help you to build and sustain long-term
arts-based relationships.
WELCOME TO
THE 2018–2019
SCHOOL YEAR!
3. Arts Advocacy and Leadership
The offerings in this thread will help you to advocate for arts-rich policies,
programming, and practices at local and national levels.
4. Culture, Equity, and Inclusion
This thread of learning will provide supports for ensuring quality arts
education programming for all students.
All of the professional learning opportunities in this catalog are aligned to the CPS
Framework for Teaching, Ingenuity’s Arts Partner Standards of Practice, CPS’ School
Excellence Framework and/or CPS’ Principal Competencies. In the back of the catalog,
you will find a handy reference index of all the professional learning opportunities aligned
to these documents. We hope this will help you to quickly identify the most appropriate
opportunities as you move toward your unique professional learning goals this year.
We encourage you to find your place in this catalog and use it to plan your year of
professional learning and development. Have a wonderful year!
