    Reasons to Become an AIE School:

    The Artists-in-Education (AIE) Program, a partnership of NewJerseys professional artists, educators, and leading artseducation providers now in its 39th year, serves as a nationalmodel of what an effective and successful arts residency looks

    like. Apply for one of our matching grants and experience howan AIE residency can help your school and district fulfill its goalsand objectives for student performance, professionaldevelopment, and community-building in and through the arts.Please note that matching funds can be made in cashand/or existing resources in the school budget. An invaluable arts experience that can helpprepare your students for the competitive world of the 21st century is within reach.

    Heres what schools have to say about the powerful impact AIE residencieshave had on school culture:

    Increased self-confidence & positive engagement

    When we reflect on the impact of this AIE residency, we think specifically of certain students who maynot have the opportunity to excel in academics. We saw these students come alive in theirperformances and then carry that high energy into their classwork.

    Mark Quiles, Principal at Seth Boyden Demonstration School in Maplewood

    Students learned to stretch, explore, and persevere

    Students learned the discipline of persistence when working on a project, and theimportance of personal passion when creating. The presence of professional guestartists through the AIE grants have been invaluable to our educational mission. . .

    -- Scott Shaw, Supervisor for the Academy for Visual & PerformingArts, Morris County School of Technology in Denville

    High-level critical & creative thinking engaged

    Students developed the tools of thinking itselfcareful observation of the world, mentalrepresentation of what is observed or imagined. We use these same thinking tools in science,philosophy, math, and history. The advantage of the arts is that they link cognitive growth tosocial and emotional development. Students care more deeply about what they study.

    -- Alma Morel, Vice Principal, Thomas Jefferson Middle School in Teaneck

    Served as a paradigm of collective leadership for students and teachers alike

    Our AIE grants play an integral part in developing an environment for professional learning communities(PLC), a state mandate beginning in middle school and continuing through high school (NJAC 6A:8).Schools can use AIE residencies to fulfill their obligation to meet this standard.

    Research shows that arts-in-educationprograms have greater impact on schoolculture when sustained over time (Fiske, E.[Ed.], Champions of Change: The Impact ofArts on Learning, Arts EducationPartnership, 1999). The hallmark of the AIEProgram is the focus on long-term (minimum20-day) residencies.
