Grant Money from 2012 -2013 NC Arts In Education Grants

The North Carolina Arts Council is offering Arts in Education Grants to give your faculty, parents and students a chance to work with a world class artist in the 2012 – 2013 school year.

Storytellers, dancers, musicians and visual artists can provide an enriching, entertaining, educational arts experience that your community will never forget. This season, international, award winning storyteller and published author, Donna Washington, will be offering two different residency experiences.

For Level I residency grants which last five days, Donna offers ‘Stand and Deliver’. This fast paced, hands on skill building experience is designed to help students build self-confidence when they present themselves and their ideas. It will also improve visualization, communication and cooperation skills while working on group projects. It includes a parent student night that focuses on encouraging family members to listen to and respect each other.

For Level II residency grants which may last up to ten days or more, Donna will be happy to meet with your principal and teachers to plan and organize an innovative, fun and exciting arts exposure that is custom tailored to your students needs.

For more information about this residency and other opportunities offered through the Artist Residency Grant Program, click here or call Banu Valladares at (919) 807-6502.

The application deadline for Artist Residency Grant applications is March 1 st , 2011 at 5p.m.

Free Professional Development from UNC Chapel Hill

Kathleen Lynne Lane, Ph.D., BCBA-D, a professor at UNC Chapel Hill’s School of Education, is offering a professional development series funded, in part, by a Research Triangle Schools Partnership Community/Schools Partnership Grant entitled:

Identify and Supporting K-12 Students within the Context of Three-Tiered Models of Prevention to Meet Students Multiple Needs: A Collaborative Effort.

As part of Project Screen and Support, Dr. Lane will host a monthly series at the Carolina Center for Educational Excellence (CCEE) beginning on January 31, 2012. Sessions are held one Tuesday evening per month from 5:00 – 7:00 pm. This professional development series is offered at no charge to all kindergarten through twelfth-grade teachers, administrators, paraprofessionals, and parents interested in learning more about proactive, systematic methods of looking for students who might require additional assistant to experience success in schools. Information will be provided regarding systematic screening tools and how to use these data to inform tiered intervention efforts, with an emphasis on supporting students whose behavior impedes their academic and social success. We encourage you to attend all five sessions; however, each session provides stand-alone information to build knowledge, skill sets, and confidence in supporting students with challenging behaviors.
