PENINSULA PERFORMS! PORT ANGELES ARTS EDUCATION PROGRAM

Implemented during the school day, these programs help students learn curriculum through the arts. Student programs have clear learning objectives and are aligned with both Common Core State Standards and National Core Arts Standards and take place in the school building.
Programs may be delivered by cultural and/or heritage organizations, educational institutions, independent teaching/performing artists, museums/art institutions, performing arts organizations, and/or performance groups/companies.
Programs can be as short as one 45-minute session or as long as three one-hour sessions.
All programs go through the Peninsula Performs program application and selection process by a committee of PASD educators, Field Hall’s Education Committee, and Field Hall staff.
PASD educators use the Peninsula Performs roster to search and select programs at the start of the school year based on grade level, content area, or art form.

“It is imperative all students have access to an equitable delivery of arts education, which includes dance, media arts, music, theatre, and visual arts that supports their educational, social, and emotional well-being, taught by certified professional arts educators in partnership with community arts providers.” – Kayla Oakes, Field Hall Director of Education & Artistic Engagement
