The Tennessee Arts Academy consists of two tracks, one geared to elementary/lower middle school teachers and the other designed for upper middle/high school teachers.
Participants are grouped according to their specific teaching assignment, which includes visual art, music, or theatre courses. A special component for school administrators and supervisors offers insight, strategies and practical advice on ways the arts can be fully utilized as part of the total school program.
Three sessions per day are spent in intensive study with a highly trained faculty of national and international experts gathered from both colleges and universities as well as from studios, workplaces and the professional world of the arts. In these classes the latest techniques are applied to instruction that will directly aid participants in their own teaching.
