Anne Pryor Wisconsin These images are from an article

recently published in a book by University of Utah Press on folk arts education, “Through the Schoolhouse Door: Folklore, Community, Curriculum.” I and partners have an article in there on the Wisconsin Teachers of Local Culture professional development cultural tours we offer each summer for K-12 teachers. These photos are from the first two tours in 2006 & 07 (those are the years featured in the article ) showing teachers some of the various places we visited and investigated. The trip I’m on now is researching this summer’s tour – up in NW Wisconsin, along the MN border by Duluth and over to the UP by Ironwood, Michigan.

Through the Schoolhouse Door

South Dakota: Educator Grants Educator Grants assist South Dakota teachers in presenting an activity or

project in any arts discipline(s) that serves to educate their students in the arts.

The funding category is designed to: Enable teachers to reach students more effectively through special arts

activities. Assist in the development of quality arts education programs in the

applicant’s school. Encourage arts activities that are especially creative or innovative. Assist teachers in obtaining professional development in arts education.

Educators may request up to $1,000 in non-matching funds.

South Dakota educators who are seeking funds for arts-related projects and activities in their schools and who are employed by public, private, or tribal K-12 nonprofit educational institutions may apply for the grants. Homeschool educators may apply if they are members of a homeschool association which is designated as a federally tax-exempt nonprofit corporation under Section 501(c)(3) of the IRS code, and must demonstrate that multiple students throughout the association will benefit. Teachers need not be arts specialists to apply.

Arts Education InstituteEach summer, the South Dakota Arts Council partners with South Dakotans for the Arts to offer the AEI professional development workshops.

We have discovered an urgent need to redesign the institute to better fit the needs of our teachers. Attendance is waning and these funds should be used more efficiently.

Are teachers finding it too expensive?Is it difficult for people to devote an entire week to the institute?Is it too far to travel for most teachers?Are we not offering the kind of development teachers want or need?

The AEI is the third week in July and can fulfill two graduate, undergraduate, or recertification credits. Registrants are required to take one morning and one afternoon class.
