Art Is Education: Inventing Our Future

SCOPE is pleased to co-sponsor this three-day institute presented by the Alameda County Office of Education that gives educators an opportunity to connect with K-12 teachers, administrators, teaching artists, and museum educators across content areas through interactive workshops.

The Alameda County Integrated Learning Summer Institute addresses quality learning and the opportunities provided by the shift to Common Core Standards and new performance-based assessments.
