Teaching for Artistic Behavior
Join your education peers and the TAB community to develop skills and gain a greater understanding of choice-based learning in Pre K-12 art programs.
MassArt partners with TAB to offer an intensive one week institute in July.
In addition to our Elementary and Middle & High School Cohorts, this year we will introduce a new Studio cohort group, which will be open to past Institute attendees or teachers with at least five years of TAB classroom experience. The Studio cohort will focus on the creation and maintenance of the studio classroom and personal art-making. They will be responsible for creating and taking down the studio, as well as helping run the studio during open hours.
