URBAN GATEWAYS: FROM THE CLASSROOM TO THE BOARDROOM TO THE WHITE
HOUSE
The Arts in Education (AIE) Program at Harvard Graduate School of
Education is intended for self-directed individuals who are
interested in fashioning their own arts-related courses of study.
AIE students pursue their diverse interests in a one-year Master's
or Certificate of Advanced Studies program embedded in a
broad-based school of education. The program also offers all
students in the Graduate School of Education the opportunity to
encounter and consider applications and demonstrations of the arts
in education.
The AIE program recognizes the importance of arts learning both
within schools, both in non-arts and arts classrooms, as well as
beyond school walls in the community. A number of AIE students
have a particular interest in educational partnerships among
schools and arts institutions. Within and across these contexts,
core learning in the program addresses arts-related issues in
educational practice, theory, research, and policy.
A component of the program, The JOHN LANDRUM BRYANT
LECTURE/PERFORMANCE SERIES features lectures and or performances
by individuals whose expertise is relevant to the program. For
instance, 2001 speakers ranged from pianist, musicologist,
Robert Freeman, Dean of the College of Fine Arts at the
University of Texas at Austin, speaking on the "History and Future
of Musical Education in the United States"; to "What the Arts
Mean to Young People Who Pursue Them: Performances by and
Conversations with Young Artists from The Artists Collective."
As a part of the lecture program individual AIE students who share
a common interest with a particular speaker "turn thoughts into
things" in the form of a reflection piece/gift tribute -- such as
a painting, drawing. composition or performance by the student --
presented to the chosen speaker or performer as a token of
gratitude from the Arts in Education Program.
