Arts Education: Implementation Plays
- We increase the visibility and importance of the arts at each of our schools, in partnership with the school leader and Arts Lead.
- We align community-based arts partners across the network, and leverage them to provide resources in schools, access to arts-focused professional development opportunities, and field trips for teachers and students.
- We support the school leader with strategic budgeting and utilization of discretionary accounts to fund arts education within the school budget.
- We host convenings of Arts Leads in the fall and spring, and provide one-on-one coaching and support to develop a plan for and implementation of an arts education program, in alignment with the school’s Call-to-Action plan.
- We facilitate seminars and workshops for Arts Leads focused on arts integration, model classrooms, and leveraging grants and community partners to bring additional resources to the schools.
- We facilitate arts-focused events at school sites.
- We facilitate experiences across the network for students, teachers, and families to access the citywide arts community (e.g., museum days or other opportunities made possible through grant funding).
