Strategic Planning 12

Provoke insight into deeper learning through relevant, interdisciplinary, inquiry based, and arts-integrated curriculum design that engages students in school today and prepares them for the future.

Explore analytical thinking frames - Studio Habits of Mind, Making Learning Visible and Teaching for Understanding - developed by Harvard Graduate School of Education's Project Zero, that Bay Area schools use to provide arts teachers, teaching artists, and non-arts teachers a language for recognizing, naming and analyzing important moments in the learning process.

Inspire communities of professional practice and educational leadership within and across schools and districts in the Greater Bay Area, as new education policies are being shaped.
