2025-26 Coming Soon! Program offerings
We center arts professional learning on knowing students well and creating a community that nurtures individual potential and supports creative risk-taking. We honor teacher pedagogy and artistry to support our students' creative expression and social emotional well-being. The NYC Blueprint for Teaching and Learning in Dance and the NYS Arts Standards are foundational to ensure responsiveness in teaching and learning of arts skills, content, literacy, and assessment.
Goals:
Foster student meaning-making and joy in their artistic expression to emphasize the impact of thinking like an artist and expose students to multiple arts career pathways.
Celebrate and build arts instruction around and through the diversity of our NYC communities and cultural institutions.
Build capacity for teachers to develop relationships with key stakeholders (school leaders, families, community) in support of sustainable arts programs at their schools.
