Elective Courses – Spring 2012
The first of its kind in the United States, the Integrated Learning Specialist Program (ILSP) provides K-12 teachers and teaching artists in public schools the insight, understanding, and skills they require to provide engaging and effective art and arts-integrated lessons across all areas of curriculum and to advance professionally.
The Alameda County Office of Education in partnership with Teaching Artists Organized (TAO), has identified a suite of elective courses offered by qualified arts educators, teaching artists, and arts organizations. Participating organizations include, AXIS Dance Company, Luna Dance Institute, San Francisco Opera, KALA Art Institute, Berkeley Rep, and MOCHA, and provide hands-on skill development in music, drama, dance, media and visual art teaching strategies.
Participants who are working toward a certificate in the Integrated Learning Specialist Program must successfully complete 3 units of electives. These workshops may also earn continuing education units through Mills College. We post professional development opportunities that qualify as electives three times a year in Fall, Winter and Summer.
Workshops of 5 hours or more can earn CEU credit and/or qualify as electives in the Integrated Learning Specialist Program certificate offered by Alameda County Office of Education. They also may be taken for no credit.
These workshops have been pre-approved as electives for those earning an ILSP certificate. To certify another workshop as an elective, please see requirements, or contact Sabrina Klein, Executive Director at Teaching Artists Organized for more information.
