Facilitated by gifted specialists from Northwestern's Center for Talent Development

As we work to meet the needs of all learners, we will be offering two sessions. February 25 and April 3 will be for participants who are not familiar with the Visual Art Standards, or the inquiry approach to learning. February 22 will be for participants who are familiar with the new Illinois Visual Arts Standards and would like more information about the inquiry approach to learning and the unit structure of DOK.
