Arts for Learning Northwest (formerly Young Audiences of Oregon & SW Washington) is partnering with the Oregon Department of Education to create a series of lesson plans and videos for all K-5 educators in Oregon. The lessons will integrate the
Core Art Standards in dance, music, theater and visual arts with the
Transformational Social-Emotional Learning framework.
Artists will be paired with a Design Team member for guidance and support. Professional Development will be provided with a focus on state standards in arts and social emotional learning, as well as best practices lesson planning and teaching on-screen.
Artists will be contracted and paid $300 for training +
a minimum of $900 for each lesson/module created. This specific work will be shared throughout the state through an open-source curriculum website hosted by O.D.E. See some examples here.
UPDATE: 6/7/24
Arts for Learning is no longer looking for Visual Artists to participate in this program.
We are actively looking for Theatre, Music and Dance Artists who could participate in August or September
