 * Teachers' Lounge - Collaborative Teaching around the Visual Arts**
 * April 5, 2012**

Collaborative teaching is one of the best ways to infuse, or integrate, visual art across the curriculum. It is a rich and rewarding enterprise allowing for exploration and experimentation of ideas, strengthening both teachers and their students. What are different models of team teaching centered on the visual arts? What are the benefits of these approaches for students and teachers? In this workshop art educators, classroom teachers, and museum educators will discuss best practices and tips for ensuring success in shared instruction.
