Student Success Initiative – Collaboration among the Texas Education Agency (TEA), Region 20 Education Service Center (ESC-20), Center for Educator Development in Fine Arts (CEDFA), and Resources for Learning (RFL) to provide professional development training to teachers of mathematics, science, and fine arts (art, dance, music, theatre), grades K-12, related to effective and appropriate methods of integrated teaching and learning within these three academic disciplines through coordination of lesson plans, instructional strategies, and curricula that is based upon the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS).

The Fine Arts Summit, hosted by the Center for Educator Development in Fine Arts (CEDFA), is the only major venue in Texas that brings together educators from each of the four fine arts content areas of art, dance, music, and theatre for professional development. It is anticipated that the revised Fine Arts Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills will be approved by the State Board of Education during the 2013 spring semester. Consequently, the professional development sessions offered at the Fine Arts Summit XIV will pertain to the revised Fine Arts TEKS for Art, Dance, Music, and Theatre, grades K-12, which will be implemented in Texas schools during the 2015-2016 school year. Participants attending the Summit, then, can replicate the sessions for fine arts educators in their respective school districts.
