Written by Susan Bell

Want to learn more about arts education?  The Northern California Arts Education Forum which was originally set to take place on December 12th has been rescheduled for Wednesday, February 1st.  We hope that you will be able to join us on this day as we have a great lineup of arts education leaders who will be presenting on three panel discussions.

In addition, we are excited to have Susan Stauter as our keynote speaker!  Arts education and advocate Susan Stauter is currently Artistic Director for the San Francisco Unified School District and was instrumental in the creation of SFUSD’s internationally recognized Arts Education Master Plan.  An award-winning credentialed teacher of Theatre and English, she was the founding Chair of the Department of Theatre for the Los Angeles County High School of the Arts, and went on to serve as the Conservatory director for the Tony Award-winning American Conservatory Theater (A.C.T.), where she oversaw all educational programs.  Ms. Stauter also works throughout the U.S. and internationally as a keynote speaker, workshop leader, teacher, writer and trainer in the area of arts education.  She has consulted for the North Carolina  School for the Arts, Great River Shakespeare Festival in Minnesota, the Grammy Foundation, and the Leonard Bernstein Center for Education at Gettysburg College.

Please help us also to spread the word by forwarding the invitation to your mailing lists and posting to your websites.  We hope to see as many of you as possible on February 1st!
