TAT Lab Core Program is a way for arts educators to develop their teaching craft with a statewide community of teaching artists and arts educators! In this 6-month program, participants explore learning plan design, learning frameworks, and teaching methods. Faculty and participants seek to create more inclusive and culturally responsive learning spaces for youth. The Core Program focuses on community building, creative thinking, racial justice, and social emotional well-being for both students and educators. Educators share their expertise and learn alongside peers who are working in various contexts and artistic disciplines across Washington state. Annual program applications are open to Washington state arts educators, teaching artists, school-based arts specialists, youth arts providers, and classroom teachers working in any artistic discipline.
