THANK YOU!
We are so appreciative of the dozens of participants, presenters, site volunteers, and NCDEO Board members who shared a memorable day at Elon University on February 21st.
Our annual conference is just one way that NCDEO continues to "support and advance dance education centered in the arts in K-12, higher education, and independent sectors." We are already working on next year’s conference and hope that many of you will plan to both submit proposals and attend. Watch social media for more information as it becomes available!
A huge THANK YOU to Elon University for graciously hosting this year’s conference. We extend special appreciation to Jen Guy Metcalf, along with the Elon faculty and students, whose support, organization, and hospitality helped make the event such a success!

Comprehensive Arts Education Conference
NCDPI invites Arts Educators from all eight regions to register to attend the Fall Comprehensive Arts Education Conference, Saturday, September 26th at PECK Expeditionary Learning School, in Greensboro, NC!
This day-long conference serves as a statewide professional development opportunity for dance, music, theatre, and visual arts educators, district arts education leaders, teaching artists, arts integration specialists, and pre-service teachers from across North Carolina working in K-12 programs, independent studios, performing arts organizations, and higher education institutions.

The mission of this conference is to support the three essential components of the North Carolina Comprehensive Arts Education Model: Arts Education, Arts Integration, and Arts Exposure. Sessions will be centered on the four K-12 Arts Education Standards core strands of Connect, Create, Present, and Respond and aid to reinforce the 2024 standard course of study.
