The Carver is accredited by the Texas Education Agency to provide Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credits to educators through a series of dynamic workshops that explore how the arts can enliven and enrich the classroom and engage students.
Examples of the diverse selection of workshops are: Leading Children in Playwriting where participants will explore how script writing can bring coursework to life while developing writing and language arts skills; a dynamic workshop titled Art/in/and/of/Architecture that investigates the fluid boundaries between art and architecture, and can’t-miss workshop in the use of storytelling in the classroom led by internationally renowned Master Storyteller Charlotte Blake Alston; a tour of East Side art studios where teachers can explore how and where artists create while learning some very innovative and easy techniques to implement with students. In addition, The Carver will offer select workshops specifically for non-arts teachers in which some of San Antonio’s most respected professional artists will demonstrate use of the arts to make cross-curricular connections and fulfil Fine Arts TEKS requirements.
In addition to the interactive, hands-on activities in the workshop, each participant will be provided with a Teacher Resource Guide that includes easy-to-follow instructions for classroom activities, contextual information and resources, as well as TEKS analysis. Participants will leave these workshops not only with creative, innovative ideas, but also the resources and confidence to implement these ideas with their students.
