With Oklahomans pursuing solutions for improving our education system, an upcoming presentation will give educators, school administrators and board members, teaching artists, nonprofit staff members, and others updates on meaningful research being conducted on arts education in our state.
Presented by the Oklahoma Arts Council, the Oklahoma Arts Education Research Presentation will take place Tuesday, February 28, from 2:00-4:00 p.m. at the Oklahoma Judicial Center in Oklahoma City. There is no cost to attend.
Featuring Linda Wurzbach, President of Resources for Learning, LLC, an organization that specializes in the development, implementation, and evaluation of standards-based educational reforms, this special presentation will highlight the results of work by the state's SP3 Task Force. Oklahoma Arts Council Executive Director Amber Sharples will explain how the work of the SP3 Task Force will strengthen arts education, detailing how students statewide will benefit from the work being performed.
