Introduction
To Dance Blueprint Professional Development (PD)
The Office of the Arts and Special Projects provides citywide professional
development in the implementation of the Blueprint for Teaching
and Learning in Dance. Professional development sessions are led
by master teachers—outstanding public school dance teachers
identified by the DOE—and teaching artists—professional
artists from local cultural organizations. During these sessions,
teachers explore the five Blueprint strands of dance education
and learn strategies for lesson plan building and engaging children
in dance. Teachers participate in hands-on projects, allowing
them to directly apply the lessons learned at training sessions
to their classrooms.
