New research published on Teaching Artists
Hi,
Last month, the NORC at the University of Chicago published its findings after three years of research on teaching artists.
A Report on the Teaching Artist Research Project: Teaching Artists and the Future of Education can be downloaded from NORC's website at:
http://www.norc.org/Research/DataFindings/Pages/default.aspx
Just the background information is informative, much less the substantive findings. Both will make it into our future grant proposals.
Enjoy,
Denise
