ARTS LEARNING

Sustain, expand and celebrate programs and strategies for learning in and through the arts and culture for all K-12 students; focusing on equity for K-8 and depth for grades 9-12.

ARTS TEACHING

Increase professional development in the arts, arts integration and culture for all stakeholders, educators, arts specialists, teaching artists, administrators, and arts organizations.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

Connect with families, artists, educators, policymakers, businesses and partners to build awareness about the value of arts and cultural experiences for all students, and inspire support and advocacy across our community.

The goal of the Any Given Child Juneau initiative is to create full access to and equity in arts education programs and resources for K-12 students. To achieve this goal, the Community Arts Team:

1) Developed long-term goals and short-term action steps for planning, implementing, and sustaining arts education programs and resources for students.
2) Established an organizational infrastructure to oversee and sustain an effective effort, including a dedicated working group of key community leaders   and a dedicated Any Given Child coordinator sponsored by the Juneau Arts and Humanities Council.
3) Works to develop support systems (including data collection, resources, and professional development) for arts education providers, such as classroom teachers, arts specialists, administrators, arts organizations, and teaching artists.
4) Seeks to secure funding and other resources necessary to sustain the community's long-term goals for K-12 arts education for every child.
5) Plans for communication and collaboration with policymakers and leaders to influence arts and education policy in the school district, local government, and arts organizations, so that the initiative's gains are institutionalized.
