Program Information
CommonGround is
the annual New York State arts-in-education conference
that brings over 250 administrators,
teachers, teaching artists, and community

policy setting, planning, exchange
of skills and inspirational speakers.
This gathering contributes to fresh
curriculum design, school reform and
new models for classroom learning.

through collaboration with the New
York State Council for the Arts and Association
of Teaching Artists, Empire

York Foundation for the Arts, NYS
Alliance for Arts Education,

Conference
Workshops:
These are the three "strands" we
will use as organizing principles for the
conference offerings:
 CORE
KNOWLEDGE: How does the field of NYS AIE
work?
- Where does one go to for resources?
- How do individuals advance & grow?
- Which elements of the field
are still confusing?
 CURRICULUM
and ASSESSMENT: How do we design deep
and relevant opportunities for students
and adults for sustainable curriculum
design?
 EDUCATION
REFORM: How can education policy and
practice transform our global community?
- How do we look beyond the school,
district, state to reform and reformers?
- What has been tried? What does
success look like? When can something
be tried in a new context?
- What are the current larger
issues and buzzwords that we must be
aware of?
