MORE ABOUT PEACE
Click to read the official press release
PEACE was inspired by ten years of research conducted by Eastern Suffolk BOCES with funding from the US Department of Education, which found that learning experiences planned in schools among teachers, artists, and cultural organizations could strengthen student critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and creativity, often known as 21st Century skills.
Project Goals:
Support for Educators: Arts-based professional development for public school educators and community cultural partners in an annual summer institute and monthly online community of practice. Professional development will focus on College, Career, and Civic, Readiness (CCCR) and Culturally Responsive-Sustaining (CR-S) education practices
Critical Community of Practice: Ongoing curriculum support for teachers, specialists, college/career counselors, and school administrators to use arts based partnerships and instruction to tackle issues that arise for underrepresented students.
Provide Resources: PAC will coordinate resources such as funding, communications, and technical support among schools and cultural partners to make robust partnerships thrive.
Contemporary Relevance: Dissemination of best practices, materials, and methods across a national network as well as a county-wide youth advisory group.
This 5-year program is supported 100% by federal funds awarded through a highly competitive grant process awarded by the US Department of Education. As an ambitious and leading arts organization of Long Island, the Patchogue Arts Council is proud to continue the work and research this project has established.
