LEADERSHIP IN PRACTICE GRANT PROGRAM

In June of
2005, eight New York City public schools with outstanding arts
education programs were awarded 2005-2007 Leadership in Practice
(Leadership) grants by CAE. While taking part in CAE’s Partnership
Grant Program, each of these schools developed innovative
strategies for teaching and learning that incorporate the arts.
Throughout the two-year grant, CAE will enable each school to
share these strategies for student achievement with a wider network
of educators throughout the City and nationwide. Leadership grants,
of up to $30,000, provide financial assistance, technical assistance
and professional development, helping schools share their “best
practices” in the form of curricula, CD-ROMs, web sites and
lesson plans. Additionally, Leadership grants help schools develop
the tools they need to measure the impact of their arts programs
on student achievement.
