Tuesday, October 17th, 2006On Tuesday, October 17, 2006, 9:00am – 5:00pm, The Center for Arts Education, in partnership with VSA arts, hosted a one-day summit on arts education and disability at the United Federation of Teachers building in New York, NY.
The goal of the meeting was to explore how arts organizations, artists, and school administrators are serving students with disabilities.
Summit participants discussed the successes and the challenges of serving students with disabilities, as well as the kinds of support arts organizations and artists need in order to better serve this community.
Specific topics that were covered include:
- What do we know about present efforts of New York City-based arts in education service providers in serving this constituency?
- Are there consistent learning outcomes for students with disabilities and special needs that could be tracked across service providers?
- What is the role of the New York City Department of Education’s Blueprint for Teaching and Learning in the Arts?
- Grades K-12 in the learning of students with disabilities, in particular, and students with special needs in general?
