Retreat description: Strategic Foundation Building
Retreats (SFB) for Arts in Education Partnerships are day-long gatherings where,
under the guidance of a trained facilitator, partnership stakeholders retreat
from everyday pressures and spend a day focusing on crucial elements of effective
partnerships such as:
- collectively developing a long range vision;
- cultivating
a shared commitment;
- building a trusting relationship among partners; and,
- addressing “nuts and bolts” issues.

GRANTS
If
your AIE partnership needs help to develop specific skills and you have identified
a resource that you believe may be useful in the development of those skills,
you can apply for a TAP GRANT. You can ask for up to
$2000 to cover the expenses associated with the professional exchange or activity.
If awarded,
payment will be made to the TAP grant recipient who will be responsible for dispersing
the funds to the appropriate
parties.
The
resource person could be a professional consultant or someone from another partnership
or organization that you believe
will be of assistance. You may have identified the individual through working
with your regional Arts-in-Education
Roundtable, through PAE or another arts-in-education agency, or from personal
contacts.
