This
year the children
of New York State have had new opportunities
to succeed in school as a result
of the partnerships among schools,
artists, and cultural organizations
that are fostered by Partners for
Arts Education. We have seen a year
filled with educational leadership,
excellence in artistic learning,
and unique solutions to issues that
face our schools and community during
the 2007-08 school year.
Please pledge
your support now as we design new
and important opportunities for the
children of New York State to grow
as creative citizens for the future.
So much has
happened in the past year:
- School
Arts Partnerships is
enabling students all over
New York State to work with
their teachers and artistic
partners in long-term learning
experiences in 19 schools.
Students are creating
a state-recognized bird sanctuary
on their school campus,
using storytelling, dramatic
role play, creative writing
and music to learn about slavery
in their community, and learning
how to make mature life decisions
by using drama and the art
of storytelling to resolve
everyday social dilemmas and
conflicts.
- Our Central
New York art$TART partnerships
are bringing learning to life as
students video conference with
students in Afghanistan, take
on the traditional role of griot/oral
historian, and explore the nature
of birds through scientific observation,
literature,
and legend.
- The Arts
in Mind initiative
with the Syracuse City School
District is increasing potential
for student achievement through
more equitable access, alignment,
integration, and professional
development of cultural resources
into whole-school planning
at four pilot schools.
- Hundreds of professional
educators, artists, cultural
organization staff, and community
leaders gathered in Rochester
to create lively and stimulating
“CommonGround,”
our annual New York State-wide
arts-in-education conference. In
April, we'll meet again in Albany.
- Our Technical
Assistance Program has
supported training, scholarships
for conferences, and facilitated
arts-in-education planning
retreats, helping educators,
artists, and arts organizations
to develop long-term strategies
for learning.
- Cultural organizations,
artists, and educators have been
attending our CNY
Arts Education Roundtables to
collaborate and deepen the role
of the arts in the everyday lives
of our children and their schools.
As we address
the multiple educational needs
of each and every child, we find
that our schools are racing to
reform their practices and our
cultural partners are keeping up
with them! A tax-deductible
contribution to Partners for Arts
Education will directly impact
the professional, highest-quality
arts-in-education resources available
for our students, in our neighborhoods.
Please
join us as a Partner for Arts
Education.
Your contribution will transform
our future.
