This session focused on opportunities ArtsCore offers to pre-service teachers, concentrating on the ArtsCore Student Organization (ASO), ArtsCore internships, and Teacher in Residency (TIR) Program. We discussed the purpose of ASO, personal experiences of members and the impact ArtsCore has had on their journey at UW Oshkosh and beyond. Additionally, we discussed the possibly of an ArtsCore paid student teaching internship program (WIP) beginning Spring 2022.
