Believing that the influence of school
superintendents is a major factor in improving
arts education in school systems across the
state, NYSAAE presents the Annual School Superintendent
Recognition Award to a New York State school
district superintendent who demonstrates outstanding
support for, and commitment to, high-quality
sequential arts education programs in their
schools. This is one way of recognizing
an exceptional school superintendent, and
to attract public attention to school-based
arts education.

John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing
Arts Schools of Distinction In Arts Education
Awards
The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing
Arts Schools of Distinction In Arts Education
Awards are annual awards presented to schools
that exemplify arts integrated education,
specifically the role that schools play in
providing a creative learning environment
for outstanding student achievement.
State winners are submitted for consideration
at the national level, where winners receive
a modest honorarium to support their programs,
a plaque for display in their building, and
the opportunity to perform at the Kennedy
Center as part of KCAAEN events.
To
be considered for the State level of this
award, your school's arts education program
should have most of the following characteristics:
-
Your school should teach all the arts
(music, dance, visual arts, and theatre)
as specific disciplines as well as
integrated into other subject areas.
-
Your program should use creative approaches
to learning, provide appropriate learning
environments for teaching the arts, and
recognize that the arts are critical and
essential to education.
-
Your program should provide opportunities
for parental involvement in the
educational lives of their children.
-
Your program should provide students various
opportunities for learning about other
cultures through the arts, enabling them
to explore differences in ways that are
devoid of cultural bias.
-
Your program should provide community
connections that build value and respect
for the community by offering students
diverse experiences beyond the classroom.
