Professional Arts Integration Resource
The PAIR Program is a professional development program for teachers developed through the Springer Opera House. PAIR stands for Professional Arts Integration Resource and equips teachers with everyday creative teaching tools to fully integrate arts content into their core content classrooms.
The PAIR Program partners classroom teachers with teaching artists in music, movement, theatre, and visual art to plan, execute, and evaluate true arts integrated content. Teachers are empowered with creative, arts-based instructional strategies which leads to engaged , collaborative students.
The ultimate goal of the PAIR Program is total school transformation.
Proud supporter of Georgia STEAM schools.
What We Do
PAIR Specialists and classroom teachers work in a gradual-release “Show Me, Help Me, Watch Me” model. This system equips teachers with the confidence to use arts integration in their own curriculum and at their own pace.
Who We Are
PAIR Specialists are highly trained creative teaching artists, many who are certified teachers. They are educators at the Springer Opera House, the Columbus Museum, Columbus State University, and local dance studios.
