Cultural Initiatives Silicon Valley: CEP Leadership & Networking

leadership & networking

Goal: Promote the sharing and use of best practices in arts education among artists, teachers, administrators, and community members working throughout School Arts Grant sites.

Creative Education Symposium Series
The Creative Education Program team has developed the Creative Education Symposia: a series of symposia regarding best practices in arts education that include presentations by arts education researchers, School Arts Grant sites, and other appropriate models.

The first Creative Education Symposium took place on November 14, 2001, with a presentation by James Catterall, Ph.D., addressing the role of research in the development of arts education policies and programs. James Catterall, Professor of Education at UCLA, is renowned for his research on the involvement of the arts in human development. Catterall’s analysis of a 10-year study of over 25,000 students found that, regardless of socio-economic status, students receiving arts education were more likely to perform better in school and demonstrate stronger leadership skills.
