Education
Mission Statement
The Center for Arts in the Schools' mission is to empower teachers to better integrate the arts (music, drama, visual and language arts) throughout the curriculum in an effort to improve student learning. The partnership among Hammons Hall, the Missouri State College of Arts and Letters, Springfield Public Schools, and associate school districts provides professional development opportunities for K-12 teachers that model arts integration across the curriculum, making a difference in how teachers help their students to learn in, through, and about the arts.
