Description
The purpose of the ACIG Arts Teacher Institutes program is to provide support to eligible organizations for administering summer arts institutes to provide professional development in arts content to South Carolina arts teachers, classroom teachers, and arts administrators. Grant awards are to provide Arts Teacher Institutes as tuition-free graduate courses or professional development that directly support quality arts education programs to significantly improve student achievement in the arts. Eight of the arts institutes award graduate credit hours to participants who successfully complete the institute.
