technical assistance

Goal: Provide ongoing, customized technical expertise and mentorship to school grant recipient program managers and stakeholders in support of each site’s program objectives.

One aspect of the Creative Education Program is our commitment to providing technical assistance to sites receiving a School Grant. Our experienced Arts Education Mentors provide up to 20 hours per month of customized assistance for each School Grant site. Forms of support include implementation of the California Department of Education's MAP Toolkit arts program assessment, strategic planning, fund resource identification, proposal writing, curriculum development and adoption, teacher training, and the cultivation of relationships between schools and arts providers.

The Creative Education Program staff develops and implements monthly School Grant Workshops designed to provide program managers and other district representatives with tools and information to support sustainable arts programs. Workshops explore alternative funding mechanisms, grant proposal writing, student-level arts assessment, national arts initiatives, model arts programs, and other topics.
