1.2.1: Arts Education
Provide general operating and program support to nonprofit organizations Other Information:
We believe a multi-pronged strategy is needed to fulfill the promises of a comprehensive arts education agenda. Strong policies,
nonprofit arts organizations and program models, as well as creative principals and teachers are essential.
Stakeholder(s):
- Nonprofit Organizations: To that end the Dodge Foundation provides general operating and program support to nonprofit organizations that: * Partner
with school districts in developing sustainable arts education strategic plans; * Offer high-quality, sequential model arts
education programs that accelerate a district's or school's arts education strategy; * Offer specialized, high-level arts
training to help talented low-income students develop their artistic skills or pursue a career in the arts; * Provide professional
development for teachers and for "creativity teams" of principals, art specialists and other classroom teachers to collaboratively
integrate the arts and the artistic process with the Common Core State Standards and science, technology, engineering, mathematics
(STEM) curricula and programs; * Improve how New Jersey schools of education prepare teachers to include innovative arts education
and arts integration training for all teachers, including teachers of non-arts subjects; and * Work to advance arts education
policies and/or provide research and data that demonstrates the impact and value of arts education practices.
