Teachers Resource Packet

The Teachers Resource Packet is a tool to help connect Clearwater teachers and artists to provide the highest quality arts experiences for students through performances and artist residencies in the schools. 

The tool includes information on planning, sources for possible funders, suggested questions to ask potential artists, and evaluation forms. 

This resource is a result of the arts education goal of Clearwater’s Cultural Plan, which was embraced by Clearwater City Commission in November 2002.  Other goals include stimulating local cultural development, creating a public art and design program, enhancing and cultivating opportunities for the community to participate in the arts, lifelong learning through the arts, and stimulating economic development. 

The Teachers’ Resource Packet was created by Clearwater Arts Foundation’s Arts Education Committee, which has representatives from the Pinellas County School System, Pinellas County Arts Council, Ruth Eckerd Hall, The Florida Orchestra, Dunedin Fine Arts Center, Dundu Dole, St. Petersburg College, Clearwater Cultural Affairs Division, and members of the community. 

“This is an absolutely wonderful partnership," said Jeanne Reynolds, who is the Music and Theater Supervisor for Pinellas County School System and a member of the Arts Education Committee.
