    Other KCS Inservice
    There are a variety of other workshops provided by the Visual Arts Department throughout the school year. Art educators may also attend other departmental training (e.g. Common Core, Science, Social Studies) for the purpose of integrating other subjects into the art curriculum. General teacher training on classroom management, TEAM/TAP, special education, and technology are also acceptable for art educators.
     
    Out-of-District Opportunities
    Workshops, conferences, or training from organizations other than KCS may need to be approved for art educators to attend. NAEA, TAEA, and Art of Education conferences will be approved, but the educator will need to submit the correct paperwork.
