SmART Schools Use The Arts To Teach Content with the SmART Schools Project staff, learning how to Last month, the rhode IslandFoundation awarded the Most traditional arts education programs depend on http://www.edc.org/spotlight/schools/smartschools.htm
Extractions: Imagine you've been asked to improvise dialogue for a person in this photograph from the Civil War. Which character would you choose? How would you portray him or her? What can you infer from his or her posture and facial expression? Given such an assignment, students can develop a character, a scene and, in time, a play. In the process, says EDC's Eileen Mackin, they will learn not only the elements of good theater, but the history of the Civil War, and how it might have affected individual soldiers and civilians. Mackin is Project Director of SmART Schools, a standards-based, whole-school reform initiative that uses the arts to engage all students. In three years of pilot-testing, more than 230 Rhode Island teachers have attended summer institutes and professional development courses with the SmART Schools Project staff, learning how to deepen student understanding of academic content by employing theater, music, dance, and the visual arts. The pilot program has now expanded to include two Rhode Island middle schools and schools in New Hampshire. Last month, the Rhode Island Foundation awarded the program $75,000 for additional support to pilot schools and to develop a SmART Schools website.

FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC In order to deal with the budget troubles which seem so much a part of educational planning in the 1990s, community colleges have taken various steps to preserve a maximal amount of student programming while simultaneously facing up to the harsh realities of their limited funding levels. In order to meet the goals of their broad mission statements while adjusting to insufficient or diminishing levels of funding, colleges have generally had to cut back on programming and find sources of revenue outside of state support.
