Webinars
The MLTI and Department of Education hosted webinars throughout the 2011-2012 school year on the Maine Arts Assessment Initiative and how it impacts teaching and learning in our schools. Visual art educator Catherine Ring and music educator Rob Westerberg, and guests hosted the webinar series.
The 7 webinars were designed to engage teachers and administrators alike. Each program addressed the key components of the Initiative. These webinars have an accompanying "meeting plan" that school leaders can use or adapt to facilitate faculty meetings, conversations, or study groups looking at quality arts assessment practices. The "meeting plans" are posted with each webinar.
