If you’ve been using arts integration in your classroom for any amount of time, chances are you know it works. You’ve probably also gone to a few conferences or taken a class or two to get fresh ideas for how to use this approach in new ways.  But…you might be wondering…what’s next? It might be the right time to get an arts specialist certification.

You’re SO ready to take what you know to the next level.  Maybe that’s by leading an arts integration or STEAM team in your school.  Or maybe your school or district wants to create a maker space or arts-integrated program and you’d love to step into that role.

If that sounds like you, then we have some great news.  Today, we’re proud to announce the opening of our new Arts Integration Specialist Certification Program!  This opportunity has been designed as an intensive, one-year program of study for educators like you who want to have an Arts Specialist Certification and learn how to integrate the arts. This program will provide you with the comprehensive skills and tools you need to get an arts specialist certification who can lead a successful school or district initiative for integrating the arts.

Take a look at this video from our current enrollees to learn more about the program:

Key Highlights

This innovative certificate program is unlike anything else available and is totally focused on developing you as a leader for Arts Integration and STEAM.  Here are a few highlights:

  • Project-based 6-week sprints.  You’ll study each core component deeply over a 6-week timeframe while working on an aligned project.  So you’re literally building what you’ll use in your new program.  And there’s a built-in 4-week rest period after each sprint to reflect on your learning.

  • Mentor & Cohort Group.  You are never alone in this program!  You’ll be assigned a personal mentor/coach and a cohort of fewer than 30 people.  You’ll build strong relationships that will last long after the program is finished.  And you’ll always have support!

  • 720 PD hours + option for 3 Graduate Credits.  At the completion of the program, you’ll be provided a certificate of 720 clock hours, along with your Arts Specialist Certification Level 1. So you can log the hours you need while earning the certification you want.

  • All-digital access.  Your learning shouldn’t be at the expense of your life.  We’ve created this program to be delivered in a world-class online learning platform.  You’ll be able to log in and learn wherever you are!
