“The arts empower students to express themselves and build relationships”
As the teaching team from Butler Tech School of the Arts stepped into the Muse rehearsal studio for the Summer Institute for Educators this July, the room pulsed with music and energy. Surrounded by teaching artists and educator peers representing different districts and disciplines, they explored Dayton’s rich legacy of funk music across four days filled with history, music, dance, songwriting and social-emotional skill-building. The Butler Tech teachers were inspired to think innovatively about how the arts can empower their own students to express themselves and build relationships with each other — sparking the idea of a school-wide project to kick off the new school year!
Your support of Muse Machine’s deep, transformative professional development transforms classrooms into spaces where creativity thrives. Please consider making a gift to inspire teachers and change students’ lives through the arts.
Sincerely,
Ruth Reveal
Executive Director

“We collaborated with Muse teachers from across the region, often working on things outside of our comfort zones. As a result, we devised a new approach to the launch of the school year that included every staff member and every student. It had a palpable impact on the school’s culture and sense of community!”
