WHAT PEOPLE SAY

TEACHERS

Because of BRAINworks I am a more intentional educator and I look at my lessons through a more expansive lens of teaching the 'whole' child.

ADMINISTRATORS

As a principal, I have seen this work be powerful. This work reaches a lot of learners who are not typical learners.

REGIONAL LEADERS

The biggest significance [of this work] is that many people in the region have been brought together in a coordinated way. There are very few groups who do that.

GET ON BOARD

Whether you're a teacher, administrator, or arts organization, BRAINworks and the C4 Initiative can help make arts integration part of your pedagogy and practice.
