Take National Action Now!
Find out about the national field by signing up to receiving bulletins from the Keep Arts in Schools site that tracks eight arts learning initiatives across the nation including the Alliance for Arts Learning Leadership. These forerunners in arts learning are funded by the Ford Foundation and share their ideas and expertise at online pubic forums called webinars.
Plan a field trip to Project Zero at Harvard Graduate School of Education and explore deeply the Project Zero thinking frameworks we use in Alameda County to advance arts learning. Each year teachers, teaching artists and administrators from the Alliance go to the Project Zero Classroom Summer Institute. Contact if your school or district is interested in sending a team.
Attend upcoming national conferences to get informed and share what you know with others from around the country.
