Creative Classrooms That Connect: Student-Centered Practices in the Arts (ATA Fine Arts Council)

This session will be presented by the ATA Fine Arts Council. This hands-on session invites Fine Arts educators to explore meaningful ways to foster connection, joy, and deeper learning in dance, drama, and musical theatre classrooms. Through reflective strategies and community-building practices, you’ll discover how to create inclusive spaces where students feel seen, heard, and empowered. These approaches aren’t just another item on your to-do list—they’re designed to enrich your practice, deepen classroom connections, and offer something restorative for you as well.
