Muse For Educators

Muse celebrates and challenges teachers by putting them face-to-face with remarkable thinkers, artists and educators from across the globe. Professional development opportunities (which we collectively refer to as “Muse for Educators”) happen throughout the school year, in curriculum workshops and monthly advisor meetings, at our Summer Institute for Educators and even during several unbelievable days in New York City, immersed in an energizing, thought-provoking experience that elevates teachers and their students!

Club Advisor Meetings

We’re delighted that future Club Advisor Meetings (CAMs) will again occur in person! In addition to updates and best practices for Muse Club Advisors, the meetings include performances and discussions with guest artists and educators. Meetings are free and open to educators pre-K through 12. The experiences are designed with high school and middle school experiences in mind, but can often apply to the lower grades!

Advanced Teacher Training Seminar

The Advanced Teacher Training Seminar (ATTS) takes place in New York City in early summer and always provides teachers with the highest quality arts training available.

As an ATTS participant, you will experience world-class theatre, dance, music, opera and visual art. In addition, you will have the opportunity to meet and participate in workshops and seminars with world-renowned producers, directors, artists, designers, costumers, and arts administrators from the city’s leading arts organizations. This experience will also allow you to meet and interact with your peers in an exciting and invigorating arts environment that can lead to unique and progressive teaching ideas.

The next ATTS will occur June 6-11, 2023 in NYC.

Summer Institute For Educators

The Summer Institute for Educators is an immersive arts learning experience, Muse’s institute brings acclaimed creative minds from across the globe to the Miami Valley to spend several days in July exploring and co-creating with teachers. Teachers learn inventive arts-based strategies for cultivating and assessing higher-order thinking skills and utilize these new techniques in their schools. The institute is free for Muse schools and prospective Muse school teachers and administrators.
