Hello, Arts Across the Curriculum Team!
Welcome to our first edition of the Arts Across the Curriculum/Arts Centered Education newsletter. The purpose of our quarterly newsletters is to keep you informed of the ongoing creative work of our ACE programs, MAIN Events, as well as areas we have identified for further help in this work. We hope you enjoy this publication and we look forward to future collaborative engagement with you all!

Cynthia and Lauren have worked hard this year to recruit more schools for our Arts Centered Education program. We have worked with several local teaching artists and educators to support learning Arts Integration in classrooms across Missouri.
Here are some highlights:
Shook Elementary & Jarrett MS:
Rachel Jamieson
Reed Academy: Harlan Brownlee
A.D. Stowell: Planning for new academic year
MMEA workshop presentation:
Lauren Hanahan & Katie Schisler
Cynthia will attend the Midwest Teaching Artist Coalition training to gain helpful research on what a teaching artist training program looks like and how we can implement our own training through MAAE.

Once again, we look forward to the summer Arts Integration Symposiums offered through KS/MO Kennedy Center Partners in Education, as well the Springfield Regional Arts Council.
The KS/MO Partnership symposium will be held July 16 & 17, and the Springfield Regional Arts Council symposium will be hosted in July, (Date TBA).
These arts integration workshops provide us an opportunity to create and connect with teacher leaders, teaching artists, and arts educators. These interactions are vital to the ongoing work of our ACE programs.
Our Strategic Plan consists of four main areas: ACE Program recruitment and continuity, Continued program support, Action Research Publications, and MAAE Teaching Artist Training Program.
In order for us to reach our goal of establishing ongoing relationships with schools and returning schools, we ask for your support in publicizing the ACE program with your education networks. Feel free to download and share our ACE Rack Card.
We welcome newsletter feedback and what you would like to see in our quarterly publications!
Thank you for your ongoing support and commitment to the work of our Arts Across the Curriculum and Missouri Alliance for Arts Education.
