Statement of Rationale

The Higher Education and the Arts Forum, sponsored by the Mississippi Alliance for Arts Education, continues the dialogue begun four years ago among arts educators, higher education personnel, and education professionals concerning the value of arts education.

The forums have sought to articulate the role the arts can play in learning and how teachers and classroom teachers should be trained in the arts to ensure quality and integrity of the arts experience in the instructional setting.

As national and regional educational standards include the arts in the expectations of quality instruction, teacher education units, educational agencies that license teachers, and local school administrators must be aware of the needs and outcomes of teaching the arts or with the arts.

The H.E.+Arts forums serve to raise awareness, provide opportunity for debate, and become the breeding ground for new vision in improving education in Mississippi through the arts. The MAAE hopes to inspire collaboration among all of these educational entities so that they intersect and contribute to the quality and success of each of them.

We encourage you to be a part of the conversation!
