District Leaders and their four-man teacher leadership teams with representation of each of the artistic disciplines offered in their county should be registering for a regional training to learn how to lead unpacking guidance of the new K-12 Standards in Dance, General Music, Vocal & Instrumental Music, Theatre, Technical Theatre, and Visual Arts in their districts!
Charter Schools should be sending one representative. Since seating at the regional trainings will be limited, Charter Schools serving multiple grade bands and disciplines can email laura.stauderman@dpi.nc.gov to request to have an additional teacher placed on a wait list.
Teachers unsure of having Arts Education Leadership in their county should contact laura.stauderman@dpi.nc.gov to help ensure there is representation and support for each county at these regional meetings!
Registration links are being provided to CAOs, District Leaders, and Charter leadership through other means of communication. Any leadership that missed this information can contact laura.stauderman@dpi.nc.gov

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.
