Flashes on career pathways would be so interesting. This isn't something we think about - but i know it's something other states focus on. I'd love to learn more.

Connections between economic development/ workforce development and arts education as a potential LO (or even GQ)

danicarosengren — 2025-03-27 20:41:25 UTC

Seems like there are a number of spaces in Iowa that focus on workforce development- so having the groups that focus on that have either panel/breakouts/workshops may be good!

Intersection with career/workforce development and arts education (formal and informal).

meghanmnasaa — 2025-03-27 20:41:59 UTC

Leadership development opportunities-- possibly trainer/ presenter from the office of economic development or another state agency (ie- how to lead from the middle)

danicarosengren — 2025-03-27 20:42:12 UTC

Personally, interested in Adventures in Social Development - in regards to both what they do but also how they are funded, if states want to support this kind of work

I'm wondering how we can include program evaluation and data collection/measuring impact into this theme?

Interdisciplinary arts and career connected pathways.

2025-03-27 20:42:59 UTC

Mainframe Studios seems like a place we could intersect with teaching artistry. Maybe professional learning for TA's?

meghanmnasaa — 2025-03-27 20:43:06 UTC

Grant processes? Maybe bringing in some local perspective and then a transition to peer-to-peer learning.

I like the wide variety of places, orgs, venues already. Especially the non-arts locations that do arts ed programming

2025-03-27 20:43:32 UTC

Is there an opportunity to hear from youth leaders in this work regarding workforce development?

meghanmnasaa — 2025-03-27 20:44:26 UTC

Is there a good local facilitator that could lead some peer-to-peer big picture learning (sociometry/ who is in the room/ who does what?)

tamarkrames — 2025-03-27 20:45:03 UTC

Topics: science and arts, emerging technologies and the arts, creative career pathways, internships/apprenticeships

tamarkrames — 2025-03-27 20:45:54 UTC

Expanding STEAM opportunities in rural communities

macartsed — 2025-03-27 20:45:57 UTC

Personally, I am still looking for ways to establish and grow relationships with school leadership. I wonder if that's a peer-to-peer topic.

2025-03-27 20:46:45 UTC

Including the Peer-to-Peer learning will be important, as the group has specifically asked for this, but what is the balance between peer-to-peer and highlighting the PDI Site? Thoughts about creative ways to do this and keep Iowa at the forefront?

2025-03-27 20:49:31 UTC

The organization that is having to diversify from 21st century funds would be an interesting topic of conversation in the uncertian world of federal education funding.

tamarkrames — 2025-03-27 20:50:00 UTC

I would love to generate more specific forms "peer to peer learning" might take. open discussion, flashes, splitting into small groups, peer-led presentations, small groups create a thing?... what else could this look like?

meghanmnasaa — 2025-03-27 20:50:52 UTC

Might some of the 1st/ 2nd year teacher mentorship program outcomes translate to supporting Teaching Artists?

danicarosengren — 2025-03-27 20:51:13 UTC

Something that may be useful in regards to Teaching Artist work is also the sustainability of teaching artistry- right now (in Hawai'i at least) you need a certain amount of privilege to be an independent teaching artist (time, flexible schedule, reliant on grant funding). This ties into professional development, wellness and vetting of teaching artists.

tamarkrames — 2025-03-27 20:52:23 UTC

It would be cool to have a creative careers panel or something with less visible pathways like theater tech, costume design, lighting, communications, community education.... and how their work is supported by arts education efforts
