Mentoring Symposium for Arts Educators

The premier Fall Mentoring Symposium for Arts Educators was a great success. We had 129 people in attendance at the Fall Symposium representing 5 arts organizations in our state. The registration was as follows: 57 instrumental, 52 vocal, 17 general music, 4 strings and 7 art. In addition to 28 first year arts-teachers, there were 59 college students representing nine colleges and universities in Iowa. The day was filled workshops and panel discussions of interest to beginning arts educators. Plans are underway for the 2009 Fall Symposium which will be held on October 31.
