Pilot Lesson Recruitment

The Oregon Department of Education is partnering with Arts for Learning Northwest to design an Arts, Care & Connection program, offering free K-5 arts integration lessons and professional learning for teachers. These lessons, designed by teaching artists from across Oregon, will create high quality arts and social emotional learning opportunities for elementary students during the school day, and will be available statewide in the 2024-2025 school year. This work is done in partnership with ODE’s Care and Connection campaign and will integrate and align to ODE's recently adopted Oregon’s Transformative SEL Framework & Standards.

Arts for Learning NW is seeking K-5 elementary classroom educators interested in using arts integration lessons in Dance, Music, Theatre, and Visual Arts! Free professional development is offered along with the lessons. Please fill out the following form if you would like to learn more about this program: Educator Interest Form. Arts for Learning NW is still onboarding pilot schools for Fall ‘23 and will use this form to reach out about joining the pilot program.

ODE’s Equity Stance: Education equity is the equitable implementation of policy, practices, procedures, and legislation that translates into resource allocation, education rigor, and opportunities for historically and currently marginalized youth, students, and families including civil rights protected classes. This means the restructuring and dismantling of systems and institutions that create the dichotomy of beneficiaries and the oppressed and marginalized. To find out more about ODE’s work in education equity, please visit ODE’s Office of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion website.
