Our core program offerings are:
1. Educator Workshops – Learn how to infuse arts-based strategies into your everyday teaching practice. Help improve students’ social-emotional and academic growth through music, visual arts, movement, and theater activities! These workshops are open to classroom teachers, arts specialists, administrators, and related service providers.
2. Lesson Planning Support – Receive post-workshop support via a one-on-one session with an Arts Integration Specialist. We’ll work with you to identify and adapt arts activities most suited to your classroom goals and Individualized Education Plans (IEPs). These coaching sessions are available for classroom teachers and arts specialists.
3. Class Visits – Receive in-class support to implement arts integration lessons with your students. Our Arts Integration Specialist will co-facilitate with the classroom teacher and support staff.
4. Family Workshops Learn new ways to engage your children at home through easy-to-implement music, visual arts, movement, and theater activities! Parents and caregivers are invited to attend these workshops with their children, where they will participate in fun and accessible artmaking together.

Everyday Arts prides itself on delivering fun, hands-on workshops that include collaborative art-making, group discussion, reflective practice, and lesson-planning. Participants learn inclusive teaching strategies, utilizing music, visual arts, drama, and movement activities aligned to the California Arts Standards. Our curriculum is adaptable for a wide range of populations, including students with autism spectrum disorder, intellectual disabilities, multiple disabilities, emotional disturbance, and learning disabilities, and has been shown to have a positive effect on reaching Individualized Educational Plan goals in self-contained classrooms as well as inclusion settings. We utilize the principles of Universal Design for Learning as well as the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning “Core SEL Competencies” to help students with diverse learning needs reach their goals.
