Please note that these programs are also open to all those interested in arts learning -- including nonprofit staff, artists, parents and community members. Final details, including fees, exact sites and times and registration information, will be posted on our Arts in Inclusive Learning page by next week.
Programs include:
Move and Learn! Creative Movement Activities for the Young Child: Monday, June 27, 6 to 8 pm, Pease Public Library, Plymouth, led by Kelly Doremus Stuart
A workshop for early-childhood educators (preK-grade 2), librarians, parents and grandparents, teaching artists, high-school and college students.
Kids love to move! Creative movement can be an essential tool for cognitive, social and emotional learning for children of all abilities -- and it's exciting and engaging as well. In this fun and informative hands-on workshop, Kelly introduces the concepts and principles needed for each participant to become comfortable facilitating creative movement activities for preschool and early-elementary-aged children. Learn ways movement can be used to teach a wide array of topics and practical ideas for using creative movement in any early-childhood setting. Examples for inclusion and engagement of children of all abilities will be given throughout the workshop. No previous dance or creative movement experience required! Please bring your sense of play and a willingness to explore new ways of moving -- and wear comfy clothes and shoes.
The Art of Writing: Turning words, sentences & stories into student-created art books : Monday, July 11, Pease Public Library, Plymouth
For many students, particularly those struggling with language and self expression, writing of any kind is challenging; these students often feel defeated and frustrated and consider themselves failures in this critical area. Yet students who are challenged writers - and those limited in oral expression - often are very excited about working with the colorful, varied materials used in making art books. This workshop is designed to introduce ways to motivate young writers on any academic level so that they can gain skills in the process of writing through appealing exercises in poetry, imaginative expression and journaling. Attention will be given to differentiating and adapting the lessons to fully include students with learning differences and disabilities. Various ways to capture self-expression will be demonstrated, including the creation of unique books, utilizing a variety of visual arts strategies.
Cultivating Creativity with Heidi Pauer, Christa McAuliffe 2015-16 Fellow: Tuesday, July 19 at Kimball Jenkins Estate, Concord; Wednesday, July 20 at North Country Education Services, Gorham (activities will be different each day; sign up for one or both). We had such a great time in Heidi's short workshop, we knew we had to ask her back! In these two full-day workshops we'll ask: What is holding us back from tapping into our creativity? What gets in the way of cultivating creativity in our students? What power can creativity have in all of our lives? This active two-part program will explore where creativity, the arts and Universal Design for Learning meet. We will uncover our own creativity, push beyond fears, and make connections to our work as educators and artists. You will leave inspired to remember your creative roots and help others discover -- or rediscover -- theirs. Join us for one or two days. Using Poetry to Reach ALL Students: A workshop for teachers at all grade levels & in all subject areas with Alice B. Fogel, NH Poet Laureate. Same workshop in 2 locations, Monday, July 18 western NH (Lebanon or Keene), Monday, August 22 eastern NH (Conway or Portsmouth) -- please weigh in if you have a preference!
As a "language art," poetry is -- in profound ways we may not immediately fully realize -- both a language and an art. This sets it up as a unique tool for developing language skills rooted in self-expression and reaching toward awareness of audience. When students and teachers see language as vehicles for self-reflection, emotion, and self-identification, as well as for concrete imagery, critical thinking, meaning, and literary devices, these secondary abilities become internalized rather than imposed. The result is success on both a personal and academic level for students of all abilities -- and we all know how important each is to the other.
The Arts as a Tool for Successful Inclusion: A Plymouth State University graduate class with Deborah Stuart (can also be taken for professional development credit only). Week of August 15, exact date TBD, Plymouth State University
This course, part of the Integrated Arts Program at Plymouth State University, will offer an in-depth look at the use of the arts to accommodate a wide variety of learning styles and needs typically found in classrooms, including those of children with disabilities and learning differences. Students will be exposed to the principles of Universal Design for Learning and the way that the arts are uniquely suited to this approach to curriculum design and classroom structure.
Creating an Inflatable Underwater World: A STEAM workshop for primary educators with intermedia artist C.M. Judge & Deborah Stuart. Same workshop in two locations: Tuesday, August 23, Kimball Jenkins Estate, Concord; Wednesday, August 24, Lancaster Town Hall, Lancaster. Experience a dynamic, student-centered art project integrating environmental science, basic math concepts, tech design and fine art. Creating collaborative art projects, at their best, can be empowering and transformative for all those involved, regardless of their abilities or learning differences. Imagine a project that allows students to move from a sketch, to a scale model, to the creation of an immersive environment large enough to walk through! This hands-on workshop will take you through the entire creative process along with inter-curricular applications (drawing, movement, sound and music). Join us for practical tips: how to create and sustain authentic student-centered collaborative projects; design visualization techniques to enhance outcomes; and leave with clear, detailed handouts to guide you in the future.

These ballads, love songs and comic pieces, reveal the experiences and emotions of daily life in the days before movies, sound recordings and, for some, books. Songs from the lumber camps, the decks of sailing ships, the textile mills, and the war between the sexes offer views of pre-industrial New England and a chance to hear living artifacts from the 18th and 19th centuries. A NH Humanities Council program, free and open to the public.

Led by Kelly Doremus Stuart, a workshop for early-childhood educators (preK-grade 2), librarians, parents and grandparents, teaching artists, high-school and college students. Kids love to move! Creative movement can be an essential tool for cognitive, social and emotional learning for children of all abilities -- and it's exciting and engaging as well. In this fun and informative hands-on workshop, Kelly introduces the concepts and principles needed for each participant to become comfortable facilitating creative movement activities for preschool and early-elementary-aged children. Learn ways movement can be used to teach a wide array of topics and practical ideas for using creative movement in any early-childhood setting. Examples for inclusion and engagement of children of all abilities will be given throughout the workshop. No previous dance or creative movement experience required! Please bring your sense of play and a willingness to explore new ways of moving -- and wear comfy clothes and shoes.
Monday, July 11, 9am - The Art of Writing: Turning Words, Sentences & Stories into Student-Created Art Books
For many students, particularly those struggling with language and self expression, writing of any kind is challenging; these students often feel defeated and frustrated and consider themselves failures in this critical area. Yet students who are challenged writers - and those limited in oral expression - often are very excited about working with the colorful, varied materials used in making art books. This workshop is designed to introduce ways to motivate young writers on any academic level so that they can gain skills in the process of writing through appealing exercises in poetry, imaginative expression and journaling. Attention will be given to differentiating and adapting the lessons to fully include students with learning differences and disabilities. Various ways to capture self-expression will be demonstrated, including the creation of unique books, utilizing a variety of visual arts strategies.
