How Creativity Will Save Schools

What is this thing called Creativity?  We'll explore this Creativity thing and how it is misunderstood at best, underutilized at worst. Creativity has the power to save our educational models, and as such should be recognized as the core processor of learning in our education systems.

about AEI_edited.png

The Arts Educator Institute was created in 2017 to provide a day of relevant professional development sessions for K-12 Fine Arts educators during the annual Countywide Institute days in Kane and DuPage counties.  At our last institute day back in 2018, more than 100 art teachers came together to network, get new ideas, and improve their craft.  We hope you'll join us this year at West Aurora High School to make this year's Arts Educator Institute bigger and better than ever!
