layers-of-literacy

On June 15th-19th, 2009 Chicago Arts Partnerships in Education (CAPE) and Habla collaborated to design a new kind of professional development institute for teachers at the Walt Disney Magnet School in Chicago, Illinois. The staff for this week-long institute involved many of the artists and educators who work with Habla on a regular basis (and who will be involved in the Habla Teacher Institute "Cabinet of Wonders" July, 2009). These artists and educators included Arnold Aprill, Cynthia Weiss, Kurt Wootton, Morris Bowie, Robert Possehl, Sarah Roodhouse, and Catherine Mann.

CAPE and Habla documented the entire process with video, photography, and text.
