Professional Development
THINK 360 ARTS COMPLETE EDUCATION professional development programs and services give educators hands-on experience in the visual arts, drama, music, dance, creative writing and aesthetics guided by professional educators and teaching artists. The program also instructs teachers on how to incorporate what they have learned into their day-to-day classroom activities and offers graduate and/or certification credit through partnerships with the University of Denver College of Education, Adams State College, and University of Northern Colorado. THINK 360 ARTS COMPLETE EDUCATION's Aesthetic Education Institute of Colorado (AEIC), held in June, is now a part of Denver University’s curriculum for pre-service teachers.

Educational Performances
These focused 45-50 minute enrichment activities for schools and other public facilities go beyond the traditional entertainment assembly by engaging students in educational content and artistic excellence. Over the past two years, Young Audiences has expanded this program to include senior centers and parks and recreation programs as well as offering workshops connected to the performances for a deeper learning experience in the classroom and/or in after school programs.

Artists-in-Residence
The Artists in Residence Program supports schools in exploring an art form and/or cultural expression, in addressing curricula and Standards, or in fulfilling an educational goal through a residency with an artist. Artists are "in residence" at a school in blocks of time between two weeks and several months. THINK 360 ARTS COMPLETE EDUCATION intends residencies to enhance rather than replace or substitute for a sequential arts curriculum or arts discipline specialists. Projects explore the creative process and spur imaginative thinking, and are not product-oriented. Residencies are tailored for Pre-K through 12th grade students in public and private schools to meet the needs of the school and community.

Artist Workshops
Our Workshop Arts Program allows your school to select from our extensive roster of professional teaching artists who will present arts programs in visual arts, theatre, dance, music, and literary arts. Artists will come to your school site and work in collaboration with your school staff. All of our programs offer curriculum connections that enhance and complement the work being done in the classroom and can take place during the school day or during out-of-school time. These workshop series will be designed to fit your school’s needs, schedule and budget.

Arts Education Advocacy
If you don’t lobby for that in which you believe, you put yourself at the mercy of those who differ. The arts are a critical part of a well-rounded, complete education.

Communicate with your elected officials to voice your views about education during the crucial conversations about education reform. Include the arts into COMPLETE education reform efforts.
