Belmont Hosts Tennessee Arts Academy
Belmont University played host this week to the Tennessee Arts Academy, a program of the Tennessee Department of Education that opened in 1987 and has evolved into the nation's premiere program for professional development in arts education. The Academy trains more than 250 teachers every summer, who in turn impact almost 100,000 Tennessee students each year. The advanced curriculum, cutting edge methodology and unique philosophical perspective offered at the Academy attract a diverse and enthusiastic group of K-12 educators from across the state. Participants are grouped according to their specific teaching assignment, which includes visual art, music or theatre courses. Three sessions per day are spent studying with a faculty of experts from colleges and universities, studios and workplaces across the United States. In these classes the latest techniques are applied to instruction that will directly aid participants in their own teaching. In addition, each day features an artistic performance or art exhibition.
