Dr. Sue Snyder and the IDEAS consultant staff are available to serve your workshop needs for:

• Integrated curriculum, arts-based, and arts-infused curriculum.
• Excellence in standards-based, sequential curriculum development in, about, and through the arts.

We tailor each workshop to your individual needs, and will work with you to provide an optimum experience for participants.

Real time workshops with our highly experienced consultants provide the most interactive professional development environment. However, to support your professional developement, or for those seeking cost-efficient ways to provide quality teacher training that results in student benefits, we provide the Total Literacy video suite, complete with a video facilitator's guide. This suite of fifteen videos allows teachers to first imitate, then adapt, and finally create arts-infused lessons and units addressing literacy themes.

Detailed workshop information:

• Total Literacy Implementation
• Total Literacy for Parents, Homeschool, and Early Childhood

  Arts Education IDEAS provides a range of presentations and workshops for parents, homeschool providers, and early childhood providers and teachers. The workshops are tailored to your needs, and may include rationale for inclusion of the arts including brain-based research, developmental stages for learning in and through the arts, linking arts activities to your state or local Early Childhood standards, developmentally appropriate materials, tools, and activities; strategies for delivering the arts concepts and skills, arts-based readiness strategies, and advocacy suggestions. Keynote addresses are often followed up by workshop sessions during training days. Contact us to discuss your needs, and we'll create the perfect workshop for you!
