WHY TEACHER/ARTIST PARTNERSHIPS?
Teacher/artist partnerships challenge both partners to broaden their thinking and to expand their effective practice. "The presence of the arts in a school acts as a leveling force. It creates a space – a 'demilitarized zone' – in which educators can reflect on their teaching practice, as well as a generative force, creating an exotic terrain in which educators can reconfigure their relationships."

Renaissance in the Classroom, pg. 19

i think i need this book they keep quoting. could be good for thesis work.

here's another great resource for resources :) a list of some things we are already aware of, but another compilation of resources non the less. always a good thing even if it's information overload at times.

i like their concept for a "living library"

LIVING LABORATORY
CAPE believes that the intersection of formal research and action research is an essential element of school transformation.
CAPE works to be a learning organization – moving from an arts education program delivery model to a living laboratory in which practitioners and formal researchers collaborate to both develop new understandings of their own practices, as well as to contribute to the discourse in the field.
