Promising Practices
Promising Practices Book
In May 2000, The Center for Arts Education released its first major publication, Promising Practices: The Arts and School Improvement, a book focusing on arts education in the New York City public schools. The book profiles nine of the 81 CAE-funded public schools that collaborated with cultural organizations to create exemplary arts education partnerships designed specifically for their school and community. Captured in the voices of teachers and principals, the nine case studies demonstrate effective arts education practices, from integrating the arts into other subject areas to dedicating the necessary time for professional development. The book also contains a summary of all 81 partnership programs then funded by the CAE. This publication itself was funded in part by the United Federation of Teachers’ Teacher Center.
