NEW! INQUIRY FORUM: PLEASE RESPOND! CAPE’s methodology is based on an inquiry-based approach. We believe that good questions are at the heart of good teaching and learning. We at CAPE are working to develop better questions to expand our thinking, so we asked our Advisory Board members to share what they are most curious about in their work. We created this discussion forum based on those questions to encourage new dialogue. Jump in! Access to and participation in the discussion board is free. You will need to register (a very quick and easy process) to post and take part in the discussion, but you can access all published postings without registering. Click Discussion Board to open a separate browser window to the Board's main page, where you can register and login. To read posts, click on "Inquiry Questions" in the blue FORUM banner, and you will link to a page with Inquiry Questions separated into Forums. Click on a Forum title. You can now see which members of CAPE's Advisory Board submitted material for that forum. Click on a name to read their post. |

RULES FOR ARTS ED RADICALS Arnold Aprill, Executive Director, CAPE, Summer 2004 As CAPE was first developing its practice, certain "rules" emerged for creating effective arts education partnerships. We hope that our experience proves useful to you as you identify your own "rules" for positive change in your own context. Click the following to learn more about CAPE's Rules for Arts Ed Radicals.

This approach accomplishes two critical goals for CAPE: it brings teachers, artists, and students into the process of conceptualizing and mounting an exhibition, and, in doing so, the exhibition acknowledges the artistic and intellectual importance of arts integration work produced through collaboration by teachers, artists, and students.

ARTS INTEGRATION EVOLUTION CAPE's Evolving Understanding of Effective Arts Integration Arnold Aprill, Executive Director, CAPE, Summer 2004 CAPE's understanding of arts integration has grown from a binary alignment of an arts content standard with another academic standard, to a social definition of integration, in which a variety of thinkers with diverse knowledge bases (classroom teachers, arts specialists, visiting artists, community members, other students) collaborate to form a rich and varied learning environment with the students at the center.

MYTHS AND REALITIES ABOUT ARTS INTEGRATION Arnold Aprill, Executive Director, CAPE, Summer 2004 The development of the arts in education occurs in the context of a profound contradiction: the arts are marginalized in our schools in almost direct proportion to the centrality of the arts to our lives. This paradox encourages us to live in two worlds the world as it is, and the world as we know it should be. This disjunction generates a series of myths about arts learning that need to be unpacked.
