Collaborating
With a Cultural Resource is an excellent tool for professional development
in partnership building and arts integration. Classroom teachers, arts
specialist teachers, and curriculum planners can increase their understanding
of how teachers and arts organizations can work together to offer students
a greater variety of perspectives and resources.
Other audiences for this program might include:
prospective partners at local arts organizations, to acquaint them
with the benefits and opportunities to be gained from collaboration;
and
parents, school administrators, and policymakers, to encourage them
to support collaboration initiatives.
