For Teachers
The Iowa Educational Theatre Association (Iowa EdTA) wants to help make you the best theatre educator possible! Through the Educational Theatre Association (EdTA), we provide professional development resources, networking opportunities, and advocating for the theatre field. Here are just some of the benefits our members enjoy:
Resources for Teachers
Iowa Alliance for Arts Education Mentor Program
The Model of Excellence Mentor Program focuses on mentorship for beginning arts teachers. Administrated through the Iowa Alliance for Arts Education, the Mentorship Program is funded by the Iowa legislature and matching grants. The Iowa Model of Excellence Mentor Program is designed to enhance the established local/district/AEA/State mentoring programs. Information is tailored specifically to the individual teacher and teaching situation, and also provides for networking with other beginning and veteran teachers throughout the state.
