Sun Valley Center for the Arts

The Sun Valley Center for the Arts will develop an online resource center for Idaho teachers to help them incorporate art into a variety of curriculum lessons. The project team will create eight classroom lessons and format them for the new website, which will be accessible to teachers throughout the state. Each lesson will include detailed instructions, materials lists, images, and videos that will model classroom implementation. The museum will provide a stipend for art supplies for a select group of teachers who will evaluate the lessons and offer feedback to the staff. The new tools are intended to increase student self-expression and engagement with learning at the middle school level in Idaho's schools, three-quarters of which are in rural areas.
