Creativity Continues

Creativity Continues- Guiding Practices During the 2020-21 School Year

As the prevailing focus moving forward is our students’ social and emotional well being, the arts provide an invaluable outlet for expression and healing through these unpredictable times. This is not only an opportunity for us all to reexamine the important place the arts have in our schools, rather, this is a call for the arts to lead the way in navigating the road ahead.

 The Creativity Continues document aims to support visual arts teachers as they return to school in September and resume instruction in either virtual, face-to-face, or hybrid plans for school operations. While the information on this subject is constantly evolving, this living document will be updated accordingly. This document also is in no way intended to substitute or contradict any national or state health guidelines. Rather, it is a collection of suggested guiding practices for the field of art education during different modes of learning.
