Programs
The Center for Arts Education offers family engagement programs, professional development opportunities for the education industry, and career development training for high school students. CAE’s programs include:
Parents As Arts Partners (PAAP) Grant: a grant offered by CAE to support arts activities for parents and their children. The PAAP grant, which funds 150 schools throughout New York City’s five boroughs, engages families with hands-on interactive arts experiences, including workshops with Teaching artists and visits to cultural organizations.
Career Development Program (CDP): provides New York City public high school students with school-to-career preparation and work experience in the creative industries. Through CDP students gain access to the creative industries with career training that results in an internship in the arts. In 2007 CAE created a website that expands the reach of CDP beyond New York City to engage students, teachers and mentors in the many career opportunities available in the creative industries. CAE also offers careers in the Arts Summer Institute (CITASI) to offer students, teachers, counselors, administrators and parents a deeper awareness of the many career opportunities available in the creative industries.
School Arts Support Initiative (SASI): launched in Spring 2008 in partnership with The New York Times Company Foundation and the New York City Department of Education to provide funding and additional in-kind professional support to three New York City public schools with little or no arts education. SASI grants are being used to help MS 267: Math, Science and Technology Institute in the Bedford Stuyvesant area of Brooklyn, JS 231: Magnetech/Tri-Community Jr. High School in southeastern Queens and MS 223: The Laboratory School of Finance and Technology in the South Bronx to assess their arts education needs, engage appropriate providers of arts education and then implement arts education curricula for their students.

Famous quotes containing the word programs:
“Whether in the field of health, education or welfare, I have put my emphasis on preventive rather than curative programs and tried to influence our elaborate, costly and ill- co-ordinated welfare organizations in that direction. Unfortunately the momentum of social work is still directed toward compensating the victims of our society for its injustices rather than eliminating those injustices.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
“[The Republicans] offer ... a detailed agenda for national renewal.... [On] reducing illegitimacy ... the state will use ... funds for programs to reduce out-of-wedlock pregnancies, to promote adoption, to establish and operate children’s group homes, to establish and operate residential group homes for unwed mothers, or for any purpose the state deems appropriate. None of the taxpayer funds may be used for abortion services or abortion counseling.”
—Newt Gingrich (b. 1943)
“We attempt to remember our collective American childhood, the way it was, but what we often remember is a combination of real past, pieces reshaped by bitterness and love, and, of course, the video past—the portrayals of family life on such television programs as “Leave it to Beaver” and “Father Knows Best” and all the rest.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
