Earn PLU's with smART stART !

Young Audiences, Woodruff Arts Center is proud to announce we are now a vendor for Professional Learning Units! Many smART stART programs have begun , but the opportunity is still available for those participating teachers who would like to acquire 1 PLU (10 hours) toward their certification. The Georgia Department of Education is on a 5 year “pause” which does not require PLU’s for recertification. Once the five years are complete, Professional Learning Units will, once again, be needed to maintain certification. This is a great opportunity to earn credit for a PLU that may be needed in the future. Lastly, Young Audiences, Woodruff Arts Center will keep records of completion if documentation is needed in the future.

“Paintbrushes for Pencils” features Young Audiences, Woodruff Arts Center and our smART stART and Arts for Learning Lessons programs!

Susan McQuade participated in an interview with the writer (Melanie Wagner) and she is quoted throughout the article. Melanie also interviewed YAWAC artist Karin Mervis while she was doing smART stART at McEver Arts Academy last year. All of the pictures on pages 64 and 65 (starting on page 75 online) are from Young Audiences and feature our 2010 smART stART program.

This is fantastic coverage of YAWAC and our literacy suite programs.
