Gateway to the Arts is seeking K-12 grade-level, content area and arts educators available during the 2012-2013 school year to participate in a pilot project that will focus on arts integrated teaching and learning as a means to reinforce the transition to the PA Common Core Standards. This initiative is designed to support collaboration between teachers and teaching artists interested in developing curriculum that will zero in on the instructional shifts currently focused on college and career readiness for students.
