The ArtsCenter <br /> Arts In Education Focus Schdol Program <br /> administrators during and following residencies to guide further sessions and determine <br /> the effectiveness of the program. Additionally, curriculum assessments are administered <br /> following all residencies to measure academic growth on the material covered during <br /> residencies. The assessments are created with collaboration from classroom teachers, <br /> teaching artists and The ArtsCenter's Arts In Education Coordinator. <br /> In addition to classroom residencies, teachers at New Hope Elementary, Efland-Cheeks <br /> Elementary, and Central Elementary will participate in two professional development <br /> workshops during the course of the 2013-2014 school year where they will learn new <br /> strategies for using the arts to teach curriculum. <br /> The ArtsCenter has successfully implemented 46 residencies in area schools over the <br /> last several years through the Arts In Education program, 33 of which have been ABLE <br /> residencies. Furthermore, as mentioned above, The ArtsCenter has successfully carried <br /> out the focus school program at Central Elementary for the past five years. <br /> Funding in the amount of $1500 from the Orange County Arts Commission will <br /> specifically go towards teaching artists fees associated with 19 ABLE residencies at <br /> three Title 1 schools in Orange County—Central Elementary, New Hope Elementary and <br /> Efland-Cheeks Elementary— in the 2013-2014 school year. <br />
