INTRODUCTION

Highlights

�� Recruiting a cross-section of players –who ultimately “road-tested” ways to strengthen their own practice through sharing and learning.

�� Awareness and recognition of the experiences and knowledge that participants, including school-based arts educators, bring to their own professional practice.

�� Extensive planning, authentic learning, and on-going reflection and iterations of pedagogical and programmatic strategies.

�� A culture of reflection, trust, and confidence among facilitators that allowed for experimentation, pivots from in-person to online, and serendipity.

�� The creation of modular sets of artsbased healing centered tools and strategies featuring different arts medium/media.

This is not an evaluation, but rather an overview of the observations, reflections, realizations, take-aways, and potential next steps, primarily from the perspective of the developers and facilitators.
