Spruce up your Fine Arts Evaluation Portfolio! The Dixon will be offering workshops to Memphis City Schools Visual Arts teachers interested in improving and expanding their Fine Arts Portfolios for Student Growth.

During each hands-on session teachers will have the opportunity to explore two unique lesson plans (Elementary and Middle/High), designed to show student growth. The workshops will target specific portfolio domains, common core standards and will include pre and post assessment rubrics as well as providing teachers with the instruments to modify the lesson for each grade and collect evidence. The lessons are inspired by the Dixon’s art exhibitions and will be implemented during the sessions.

All materials are included.

Registration required through Dixon Gallery & Gardens. Space limited. FREE

To register, please contact the Dixon at 901-761-5250. For more information contact Margarita Sandino, Curator of Education at msandino@dixon.org.

Must be a Memphis City or Shelby County school teacher. (It is suggested to partner with a non-arts Social Studies teacher for these hands-on integrated experiences).
