ARTS ACHIEVE! MODEL SCHOOLS: Information & Application

Arts Achieve! Schools offer exemplary arts programs, strong arts integration programs, supportive instructional settings, outstanding community connections, or other factors that make them valuable examples. These schools have agreed to open their doors to visitors who wish to enhance and/or affirm their arts education practices.

Schools that apply for this recognition conduct a comprehensive self-assessment. Applications are evaluated by a committee of arts education professionals. Site visits are conducted for schools with the strongest applications for the final selection process. Arts Achieve! Model Schools are recognized for a three-year period.

Arts Achieve! Moddel Schools are recognized annually at the FAAE Leadership Summit. Networking sessions and set-aside meeting time are designated at the Summit for Arts Achieve! Model Schools administrators and teachers. Their participation in this event is strongly urged.

Recipients of the FAAE Arts Achieve! Award may be nominated by Florida for the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts National Schools of Distinction in Arts Education Award.  

APPLY

FAAE is introducing an on-line AAMS application for 2010. Arts Achieve! criteria have not changed. The online application will streamline the process of application and review. Schools will submit materials electronically and provide links to online resources and video. Of course, no improvement comes without pain - we think we have thought of everything, but there will certainly be questions. Please do not hesitate to contact FAAE for help with the application and the new process.
