CCA TI Courses
Participant Testimonials
"The CCA Teaching Institute gives you a toolbox of schools of thought and a common language to apply across disciplines, and it makes you hungry for more. Core participants form a close-knit group of regional peers, who together build shared understandings and develop best practices."
—Teaching artists & special education teachers
"This program accommodated all levels of experience and perspective. It helped me develop a vocabulary to express ideas, goals, and lesson plans. It was a critical step for me in calling myself an educator."
—Museum educator
"Great teachers, good social connections, and excellent content. The courses are fun and encouraging."
