MAC Presents Arts-Integrated Workshops as Part of the Teaching Artist Project

Below is the text copy of an email received from MAC. The Teaching Artist Project (TAP) puts on great workshops, with people often coming from all over the state. In the past two years, I've been to two or three of these, and I'd highly recommend going. One of the great things about these workshops is it pulls together classroom teachers and teaching artists, providing for dialogue that is often missing in other professional development opportunities. Through the generous funding of the Missouri Arts Council, these workshops are free, which is awesome. Dates and registration info are listed below in the body of the email. Check it out, there's always something to learn.
