Engaging the Community
In response to Yvonne’s question about my Day 2 post:
If you go to www.ed.gov/programs/artseducationmodel/awards.html , you can see the awards since 2002. Ours was in 2003 under Arapahoe County and at the time called ARK (Arts Reaching Kids). If you look at each year you can see the kind of models being investigated. By then, in 2002, Tucson schools got an award as well. The Tucson elementary schools have a very strong program, funded in part by the state of Arizona, which has demonstrated real results, particularly with Hispanic children. I believe the Tucson Symphony has been a part of this. You could contact Susan Franano their ED (sfranano@tucsonsymphony.org or 520-792-9155 x107) about this.
