The Education, Arts and Social-Emotional Learning (EASEL) Program

Recognizing the urgent need for students to be engaged in their education and to find relevancy in their classroom experiences, the Inner-City Arts Professional Development Institute provides training in the arts for classroom teachers, school administrators, teaching artists and community partners.

The Education, Arts and Social-Emotional Learning (EASEL) program seeks administrators interested in learning how to bridge arts instruction with other core content areas through a lens of social-emotional learning and brain-based research.

Acknowledging the vital link between student achievement and professional development of educators, the EASEL program provides participants with tools and strategies to create exciting, supportive, learner-centered classrooms that empower both students and educators in being active facilitators of education reform.
