Mission/Description
To foster student creativity and achievement in, with, and through the arts.The Arts Education Collaborative works to achieve its mission through professional development programs, advocacy projects and collaborative initiatives among artists, arts organizations and educators.  We engage teachers, administrators, artists, cultural organizations and parents in strengthening quality arts education throughout a region that is known for its cultural and educational richness. The term collaboration in our title is no mere euphemistic phrase. We take it quite literally insofar as the various projects we are involved in invariably function to support efforts of other arts groups, school systems, cultural organizations, or community groups.  What characterizes our work most distinctively is our attention to detail and concept of process. Data driven decision making is essential to our thinking. Research and needs assessment are a consistent part of the planning process in everything we undertake.  And final assessment along with analysis are key to our maintaining a high quality of deliverables and services.
