CLIA focuses on curriculum, instruction, assessment, and technology in the implementation of the 2017 south Carolina College and Career Ready Standards for Visual and Performing Arts Proficiency to emphasize student growth. CLIA helps to build partnerships between Arts teachers, community Arts organizations, and higher education. Participants are introduced to current issues and recent research in Arts Education as well as support strategies to sustain the Arts. Participants develop and teach complex standards-based lessons with embedded assessment that emphasize student growth through a series of workshops and hands-on learning activities that inspire innovation. Guest presenters join the participants during the week for a series of seminars, workshops, and training sessions about SLOs, Arts assessment, teacher leadership, and Arts Advocacy. Through these opportunities, participants deepen their practice as teachers, artists, intellectuals, and Arts Advocates. CLIA also focuses on developing leadership skills and addresses the changing context in which the Arts operate and thrive.
