PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR CLASSROOM TEACHERS AND TEACHING ARTISTS
 The arts do not exist by themselves, but are inextricably linked to our life experiences. Through the arts we can inspire and engage students and the community to discover more about themselves, areas of study and the world. BalletMet's professional development program uses curriculum aligned with the Ohio Department of Education dance and other core subject content standards.
Major Goals
Through instruction, participants will:
- Inquire into the nature and significance of dance and the artistic process.
- Explore concepts of curricular and intercurricular instruction through differentiated and cooperative learning.
- Design and implement lesson plans integrating the arts.
- Collaborate actively with professional artists.
Morning at the Ballet Workshops
These workshops promote ongoing learning in and through dance while integrating the various Morning at the Ballet programs into school curriculum. Performance-specific lesson plans are provided and modeled. Teachers receive an intimate preview of the Morning at the Ballet work and watch professional dancers from BalletMet at work.
