A lot is going on in our world right now, and Arts Educators need to slow down and focus on what is most important for their students at this moment and the rest of this school year. Come FEAST at our FEEDBACK BUFFET as you learn how to retool, refocus, and rethink how you can better connect with and teach your students in 3 part series focused on differentiated virtual assessment practices.

In three 60 minute sessions, we will PLEARN Screencastify, Padlet, Vacaroo, and do both a beginning and deeper dive into using Flipgrid!

Presented by:

Dr. Lisa Hervey, NBCT, is a Senior Research Scholar & Digital Learning Coach at the Friday Institute for Educational Innovation and Teaching Professor in the College of Education - Instructional Technology Program at North Carolina State University. With over 16 years of experience, starting with 10 years as a public school 6th - 8th Language Arts teacher, her learning and teaching now focuses on the creation and facilitation of both face-to-face and online professional development that supports pre- and in-service educators in transforming their digital pedagogies and teach beyond the tools.

North Carolina's Vision for Comprehensive Arts Education

In today's globally competitive world, innovative thinking and creativity are essential for all school children. High quality, standards-based instruction in the arts develops these skills and effectively engages, retains, and prepares future-ready students for graduation and success in an entrepreneurial economy. Dance, music, theatre arts, and visual arts, taught by licensed arts educators and integrated throughout the curriculum, are critical to North Carolina's 21st century education.
