Colleagues,

The Newark Teachers Union believes that the Arts (including visual arts, performing arts, music, dance, etc) are vital in ensuring all children get a well-rounded education.  We have set up a group on Facebook to share ideas on Arts education.  This group is a wonderful cross-district opportunity for art teachers (of all media) to get together and exchange ideas/lesson plans, resources and instructional thoughts.

Please join us!
