Expressing the Heart in Poetry: Creating effective curriculum through poetry, inquiry and standards
Three one-day workshops: March 19 | April 4 | April 18
This hands-on three-part workshop is especially created for classroom teachers K-12 and teaching artists of all disciplines who are currently working with or are interested in working with poetry or Poet-Teachers in their classrooms. These workshops will provide teachers with lesson plans and experiences designed to reach all students and awaken their hearts, minds and bodies for learning.
The Saturday full-day workshop will introduce teachers to a multicultural collection of poetry and activities that will encourage students to explore the poems' meaning through writing, movement and art. In addition, teachers will have the opportunity to discuss methodology, relate activities to both Visual and Performing Arts (VAPA) and English Language Standards, and design new lesson plans for their individual classrooms. The Monday evening advanced classes will provide additional discussion and practice time to strengthen lesson plans and curriculum integration and the application of the VAPA) and English Language Standards.

California Poets in the Schools (CPITS) is a statewide literary arts organization, committed to making creative writing and arts, an integral part of the educational lives of young people. By placing accomplished poets in the classroom for extended residencies, CPITS encourages young people to value imagination, perception, culture and creativity. The program began in 1964 as the Pegasus Project, which placed poets in classrooms to introduce poetry to San Francisco children. When the program went statewide in the 70's it was the first to receive Arts in Education funding from the California Arts Council, who then used CPITS' innovative program to model their future arts in education funding. CPITS’ poet-teachers are accomplished writers, and all share a deep commitment to teaching their craft to children and sharing their work in the community. It is now the nation’s largest writers-in-schools program. The organization has been recognized for its excellent programming by the California Teachers and Educators, the National Association of Poetry Therapy, and the California Alliance for Arts Education.
