CICS Prairie is excited to share that we have an amazing opportunity through the REACH Grant (Race-Equity-Arts-Cultural History), an amazing arts integration opportunity that offers three major supports over time for core academic teachers to develop, build, practice and implement culturally relevant arts integration practices! This week we are excited to welcome 3 Teaching Artists that will be working with Mr. Pesa, Ms. Spaulding, and Ms. Tee!
Teachers have worked to co-plan together based on current curricular units they are teaching to students.
