The FAC Teacher Training Institute offers professional development for elementary, middle and high school teachers interested in extending the range of experiences in the art room, special education and general classroom. Professional development links the arts to the core subjects in compliance with the Colorado State Board of Education State Standards and Curriculum. Practicing artists and educators demonstrate specific hands-on projects and make cross-curricular links. Professional development credit is available for these sessions. Instruction and classroom lesson plans will be provided by Colorado State Licensed professional instructor Nancy Fraser-Coco, certified in Art K-12.
