AIE Seminars Begin This Week
The Arts in Education Partnership Seminar Series begins this week on Saturday, March 12 with "Arts-in-Education Tool Kit - The Artist in the Classroom Community" with photographer/teaching artist Kathie Maniaci and 4th grade teacher Diana Ebner.  If you're a teaching artist or classroom teacher looking to clarify your understanding of the relationships between curriculum and NYS standards and the arts, Kathie and Diana can help you evolve from ideas to implementation as they share their experiences and know-how.

On March 19, Mark Wright of the Cultural Resources Council and jazz singer and teaching artist Jacque Tara Washington present Arts in Education Careers- Business Practices for Success to help arts-in-education professionals negotiate the practicalities of taxes, insurance requirements & bookkeeping, background checks & state regulations, self-promotion, the search for grants, and  getting work in schools.

The six-part seminar series runs through May 21 on Saturday mornings at OCC.  Full descriptions of the seminars and facilitators are just a click away on PAE's web site at: http://www.arts4ed.org/training_opportunities/pships_spr05_index.shtml.

To register for the entire series or for individual workshops email Georgia Popoff or call at 315.234.9911.

Christine Goodheart
On Friday, March 4th, Christine Goodheart spent the day planning and forecasting potential for the state of arts in education and community partnership for Central New York.  This was an inspirational and productive experience that kept Christine hopping from a breakfast meeting with higher education representatives and community organizations to the "fishbowl" examination of a 21st Century Community of Learning afterschool partnership, a great lunch buffet and keynote address, and then a detailed group examination of two arts organizations that are focusing on arts in education initiatives.  Then we celebrated the 2005 art$TART grant recipients with a dessert spread and brief networking time as the symposium wound down. 

As the start of the season PAE has planned for training in AIE, it was a magnificent experience and we are grateful to all who attended and made it the success we witnessed.  Please look at the web site for the other components of this comprehensive program for professional development in our field.  Please join us for any or all of the seminars and to experience Lily Yeh in June.

Many thanks to the NYS Council on the Arts and Bill Magnarelli for their invaluable support for this program.
