For Educators

Gateway to the Arts meets the needs of educators by offering several different levels of support and training in arts integration. From single day Act 48 workshops on integrating the arts into the curriculum to partnership programs that span multiple years, we aim to provide educators with the tools to make arts integral to education, so that they can inspire children to become lifelong learners and participants in the arts.

Gateway to the Arts’ Western Pennsylvania Wolf Trap program provides innovative arts-in-education services for children ages 3-5, their teachers and families.

The Gateway Arts in Education Partnership is a residency program based on a model of arts integration that uses a work of art as a text for learning.

Professional development is offered in conjunction with residency programs, as customized in-services for educators and as single day Act 48 workshops.

    Root American Music Award

    On Friday March 26, Gateway to the Arts awarded the second Root American Music Award, named after musicologist and former Gateway Board President Deane Root, to Boyce Campus Middle College High School teacher, Joanne Krett. The award recognizes an exceptional teacher who has participated in the Center for American Music at the University of Pittsburgh's Voices Across Time program, designed to assist teachers from different disciplines in incorporating American music into their curricula. Krett, an English teacher, uses music and lyrics as primary learning material, as a tool to connect to the humanities overall and to engage her students more deeply in the curriculum.  

    In addition to this recognition, Joanne and her students also received a free performance program by the acoustic blues duo Wiggins and Harris sponsored by Gateway in cooperation with Calliope: Pittsburgh Folk Music Society
