Critical Links: Professional Development Resource

The Arts Education Partnership and the Perpich Center for the Performing Arts, Minneapolis, have created a web-based professional development resource. Critical Links: A Professional Inquiry Process helps teachers and administrators to apply research to daily classroom practice through a seven step process of structured activities that helps teachers develop their own research expertise to improve instructional practices. Also on the website are video interviews with teachers who have used the inquiry process and lessons learned.
