Topic: Arts Education: Higher Education
Colleges and universities across the country offer academic training for future practitioners, educators, administrators, and scholars of the visual, performing, and literary arts. Partnerships with institutions of higher learning are critical for the future of arts education in America. The training of music, art, dance, and theater educators must marry effective curriculum design, interdisciplinary collaboration, and technical craft, along with strong advocacy skills.
Institutions of higher learning also serve as incubators for arts education research and advancement.
