Do you know a teacher or school that uses the arts to inspire learning? The Music Center’s Bravo Awards wants to acknowledge these champions for arts education in Los Angeles County schools. Nominate a teacher or school today by filling out an on-line nomination form here: http://www.musiccenter.org/education/bravo_applying.html. The nomination may be from any ONE of the four categories:
The Deadline for Nominations is October 15, 2011
Once an educator has been nominated, applying is easy! All nominees will be contacted and must submit a one-page questionnaire, a letter of intent (one-page maximum) and a principal’s letter of support (one-page maximum). Application, letter of intent and the letter of support are due October 21, 2011. Twenty-five nominees will be chosen to work together in four workshops to build the community and develop leadership skills. The peer review process will give educators the opportunity to reflect upon their teaching practice, create professional portfolios, and receive feedback from a peer coach. They will also be able to visit peer classrooms and review members’ portfolios to decide who will receive a Bravo award. All 25 participants will receive a cash stipend and be honored at the March 1, 2012 ceremony celebrating community, leadership and excellence in arts education. The ceremony will take place at the Music Center’s Walt Disney Concert Hall where the top educators in the four categories will receive special recognition.
