Are you planning a career in working with children or elders? Add an arts education certificate and expand the diverse ways you can facilitate, create and recreate.
The certificate program on arts in education and recreation is specifically designed for prospective preK-8 educators and recreation specialists who wish to enhance their facilitation practices by developing the necessary skills to use the arts throughout their programming and curriculum. This certificate program does not lead to any official teaching certificate or endorsement through Arizona Department of Education. Instead, it is designed to help educators use the arts in their regular teaching practice.
By weaving the principles and practices of the arts and other disciplinary curricula together, teachers can create rich and engaging environments that enhance student learning by capitalizing on the critical thinking, communication, collaboration and creativity inherent in the arts and arts experiences.
