School Partnership Program

SCHOOL PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM

After more than 65 years of bringing the joy of creativity to individual adults, teens and children, the League has launched a major new initiative to strengthen sequential instruction in visual arts education and Arts-Based Learning in our schools.

Each Election Day in November, teachers from Long Island schools strengthen their artistic techniques at our Professional Development Day workshops, earning CTLE certification. Teachers also earn CTLE certification in content area in any one of our regularly scheduled art classes. Additional programs include class trips to our specialized studios and onsite visits by experienced teaching artists to K-12 schools.

Our Instructor’s ability to go adjust to meet the needs of the course participants made the class extremely useful.

Batik Workshop

I’ve taken this workshop multiple times, and have since implemented monotype printmaking in my Studio Art and Drawing I classes. Expert instruction and practical methodology gave me confidence to teach a new unit to much student success.

The course was incredibly informative, and we were super productive. I love that we had so much time to explore the clay and go beyond the project if desired. Our instructor was amazing!

Spacious art studios centered around one of the most desirable Galleries on Long Island make the League a unique destination for students and teachers. Each year world-class artists and exhibits are attracted to the impressive bi-level Jeanie Tengelsen Gallery. The League combines the use of this unique space with its cutting edge studios and highly – respected faculty. Organized around best practices in visual arts education, professional development and Arts-Based Learning, partnership programs are designed to foster aesthetic education as well as skill development and content understanding across disciplines.

These exciting programs can generate New York State funding for your district when contracted through BOCES Arts-in-Education Services.
