SUMMARY:Arts Educators Learning Journey: Creating an Art-Inspiring Space
DESCRIPTION:Join the Arts Educators Learning Journey \nREGISTER HERE \nPower of Place and the Peabody Essex Museum share a strong belief in the transformative power of the arts to enhance young people’s mental well-being and engage them deeply in their learning. We want to harness the wealth of talent and creativity in our region to create a unique\, comprehensive\, and engaging professional learning journey for all arts educators\, including theater\, visual\, music and dance. The objectives for this series will be to: \n\n\n\n\n\n\nCultivate a vibrant community and network of Essex County’s arts educators where collaboration\, creativity\, and shared vision fuel personal and collective growth. \n\n\nIgnite powerful teaching and learning in the arts by sharing and exploring innovative strategies\, inclusive practices\, and new ways to engage every student. \n\n\nConnect classrooms to communities by empowering students\, engaging families\, and weaving art into the fabric of public and shared spaces. \n\n\nCelebrate creativity by showcasing student and educator artistry\, reflecting on our journey\, and envisioning a path forward together. \n\n\nOur first session will focus on what it means to create an “Art-Inspiring” space. Participants will discuss  what “art” means in their shared practice and explore how learning environments can spark creativity. All participants will be encouraged to bring and share artifacts\, classroom photos\, and short videos that showcase how they design inspiring spaces\, then use collaborative protocols like gallery walks and small-group reflections to uncover themes\, fresh ideas\, and key takeaways. The session will also include a behind-the-scenes tour of curatorial and studio spaces at the PEM for added inspiration. \nPlease complete this short form to RSVP for our upcoming sessions. \nNote that participants will be eligible for PDPs\, and that childcare will be provided. Please reach out to Heidi Guarino at heidi@edlabstrategies.com with any questions.

SUMMARY:Submit an Educator Spotlight Video!
DESCRIPTION:In preparation for Teacher Appreciation Week\, Power of Place is planning a social media campaign to celebrate all of the incredible educators who move our mission forward. Your stories – and voices – are an important piece of this campaign\, so we want to from you directly.  \nTo participate\, please send us a selfie-style video in which you introduce yourself\, your role and tell us what you love most about being an educator. We will share all of these videos on our social media channels throughout May.  \nBefore recording\, keep a few things in mind:  \n\nFilm in a quiet\, well-lit location without any distractions behind you\, ideally in a space that relates to the story you are trying to tell (Examples: at your desk in your classroom or in your office).\nRecord selfie style (holding the phone rather than having someone else hold it for you). The video should be filmed vertically. \nMake sure to rephrase the question back in your answer. \n\nTo participate\, please upload your submission here no later than Friday\, April 17. If you have issues or questions\, please email Jess Silva-Hodges at jhodges@melwoodglobal.com. \nThank you in advance for sharing your stories with us!  \n
