Arts in Education
The Arts in Education
VSA New Hampshire wants educators and administrators in every NH school to become advocates for arts learning in their schools and to integrate arts activities into their classrooms. We can help schools in this process by consultations, trainings or by connecting them with appropriate resources.
The Arts for Students with Disabilities
Children and young people with signigicant involvements and disabilities are particularly able to benefit from the use of the arts as tools for learning, for self expression and for success in both inclusive and special learning settings. VSA NH teaching artists, trainers and consultants are available to institute and support teachers and specialists as they use the arts to promote successful inclusion, to meet individual learning goals and to support core curriculum.
The Arts in Early Learning
VSA arts has undertaken a multi-year intensive project to provide training, support and resouces for early childhood educators, care providers and private and public pre-schools so that the arts become part of the day-to-day core experience of young children in these settings. These trainings and support services are particularly geared to demonstrate how the arts meet the needs and promote school readiness for children with learning differences and developmental delays, as well as enrich the early learning experiences of all young children and lay the foundation for school success.
Working with the Arts Alliance of Northern New Hampshire with an emphasis on the Lakes Region and the North Country, we are providing workshops, in-school visits, family and child arts events, consultations and links to resources. To learn more about our partner in this project go to The Arts Alliance of Northern New Hampshire.
