UAPs EASE program featured in Education Week! EASE brings in teaching artists—working musicians, theater actors, and visual artists with education experience—to mentor elementary special educators and arts teachers on how to weave the arts into their teaching.

What I like about EASE is that its brought the fun back.

The activities emphasize communication, social skills, and group work; above all, theyre meant to be fun. Read more here: edweek.org/ew/articles/2014/05/21/32arts_ep.h33.html
