PART I: GUIDELINES
A. OVERVIEW / PROGRAM CRITERIA
An integral aspect of the Career Development Program (CDP) mission, and our goal for
the Careers in the Arts Summer Institute, is to encourage educators to create career
development activities in their schools, embed career development in their lessons and
expand the walls of the classroom to include worksites as outside centers of learning.
Through a series of professional development activities focused on exploring careers in
the arts and related industries, educators are exposed to the many careers associated
with the arts allowing them to better assist students in exploring career options. The
institute includes a course of study that focuses on facilitating CDP’s career
development curriculum and creating and/or enhancing a career development
component with a focus on the arts in their school. All educators will receive CDP’s
teaching guides and student handbooks, and will participate in meetings with arts and
post-secondary school admissions professionals as well as eye-opening seminars on
the economic impact of the arts and related industries in New York City. The Institute
will also include visits to some of New York City’s top arts-related businesses in the for-
profit and not-for-profit sectors.
Participating educators are expected to do the following:
1. Participate in all Summer Institute activities set to take place:
August 11-13, 2008
9:00am – 4:00pm each day
2. Develop an action plan to create or enhance a career development component that
focuses on the arts in their school.
3. If you will be representing a school that has been selected to participate in CDP’s
Student Internship Program in 2009, you must also serve as additional support to
the designated School Based Team.
The Center for Arts Education will provide:
1. Student and teacher curricula that complies with the New York State Learning
Standards and the SCANS (Secretary’s Commission on Achieving Necessary
Skills) skills and competencies. Each of the participants will explore the various
aspects of employability training, life skills, and arts & arts-related occupational
opportunities.
2. Training for the facilitation of career development activities in the arts.
3. Visits to arts related businesses and cultural organizations.
4. Discussions with professionals in the arts.
5. Ticket to Broadway show.
