The journey toward comprehensive district-wide
AIE master-planning through the eyes
of the whole community
We will explore "inside-out" community
changes that happen when funders, educators,
and cultural partners begin school support
with the existing school improvement
plan and think big about changing whole
districts through the arts. Based on
the "Arts In Mind" initiative
in Syracuse and inspired by Dallas "Big
Thought".
Conference Strand:
Education Reform
Cultural Organization
Administrators: what
it looks like when arts partners shape
education programming from within the

consolidate precious time and dollars
to meet required AND inspired school

true participation and transformation
exist beyond the PTO meeting
or community event.
