COCA for the Classroom

COCA invites teachers of all subject areas to explore the arts in education programs that Tallahassee, Leon County, and the surrounding areas have to offer.

We hope you will use this information to enhance your regular classroom programming through supplemental arts and​ cultural partnerships in the region.

Reference Guide

COCA for the Classroom is a reference guide to the wealth of arts in education resources in the Tallahassee community and surrounding areas. This directory includes information about programs and services available to schools provided by local arts organizations and teaching artists. These programs include field trips, in-school performances and workshops, artist residencies, and other arts-related offerings for teachers and students. The goal of this directory is to facilitate and advance the arts as an integral component of the eduction and experiences of K-12th grade students and educators.

Each listing contains a description of the program and can be searched or sorted by program provider, program type, grade level, subject area, and artistic discipline. This information will help educators and administrators find the appropriate cultural organization or individual artist to fill their specific needs.
