Welcome to Eastern Suffolk BOCES Arts-in-Education services, where we
are committed to the role that the arts play in the education of the whole
child.
The arts and artists presented through Arts-in-Education programs promote
personal growth and community understanding by enabling students to process
and create meaning from what they learn about people, events and places.
Educationally, the arts have a place in the classroom not only for their
own sake, but also as rich, relevant and integral connections to classroom
work that support as well as align with and enliven core curriculum.
There are also programs that do not address arts standards that help make
meaning for our students. These Exploratorium Enrichment opportunities
are available through our office.
"The Arts in Education program
supports education reform by strengthening arts education as an integral
part of the school curriculum. ...Findings from the NAEP 1997 Arts Report
Card indicate that artistic experiences provide visual, kinetic, aural,
and spatial learning. College Board data show that students who have
participated in sequential arts programs perform significantly better
on both the verbal and mathematics sections of the SAT..."

Eastern Suffolk BOCES Arts-in-Education (AIE) services coordinates contracting

member districts a wide selection of arts programs screened for their
quality and curriculum connections.

Catalogue of over 1000 programs, which include: program descriptions,
standards alignment, grade level suitability, cost, contact information,

districts.
