The Arts Education Institute (AEI) offers professional development in the arts for South Dakota teachers and administrators pre-K-12.
However, you don't have to be an educator to attend AEI - everyone is welcome to enjoy this fun-filled week of learning featuring ways to infuse the arts into classrooms; curriculum development; and art, choral and music workshops.
AEI is offered for up to three graduate or recertification (CEU) credits.
