Professional Development

E-mail Print

Professional development is essential to Gateway's missionequal to our mandate of transforming children through active participation in the arts. It is a central tenet of the  Arts in Education Partnership, the Western Pennsylvania Wolf Trap program and Teach Me! residencies and it is integrated into the K-12 Residency programs.

Currently, we are offering a series of professional development workshops for early childhood educators. Check out the upcoming events to see what's happening in your area or view our Early Learning Through the Arts offerings to choose one specifically for your site.

Additionally, in-service workshops can be customized around specific media or topics or more generally on integrating the arts into the curriculum. Act 48 credit is available as course credit or activity hours for some of these programs, and specific Act 48 workshops are also offered as individual sessions.

For more information call 412.362.6982 or check our events calendar.

    A Whirlwind of Collaboration

    Two densely-scheduled days this November marked the fruition of a collaborative project two years in the making, designed by Gateway to the Arts and the School of Music at Carnegie Mellon University. The goal was to assist the graduate chamber music ensembles at CMU in developing dynamic outreach programs for public school students grades K-12. Funded in part by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, project coordinators Lisa Hoitsma of Gateway and Dr. Natalie Ozeas of CMU enlisted the expertise of the Grammy-nominated African-American woodwind quintet, Imani Winds, known world-wide for their high-quality outreach programming that focuses on excellent musicianship, audience participation and repertoire.
