Setting the Stage for Active Learning

Young Audiences Inc. Annual Report 2011 Young Audiences Arts for Learning is the nation’s leading source of arts-in-education programs and services. Since 1952, Young Audiences has advanced the artistic and educational development of school students by bringing young people together with professional artists in all disciplines to learn, create and participate in the arts. YA Arts for Learning envisions a future in which the nation’s children and youth will have the opportunity to engage in quality arts learning experiences that nurture creativity, build cultural understanding and enhance the development of their learning and life skills.

3 We are born learners. Anyone who has watched an infant grow into a toddler can attest to that. So, what goes wrong when we get to school? Boredom and the subsequent conviction that school is ir- relevant has led high school students to drop out at a rate of 30 per cent nationally; as much as double that percentage in some demographic groups and geographic areas. American test scores in science and math are abysmal compared to those of other developed countries.

Clearly, we have to find ways to engage students’ interests. But, just as clearly, we can’t simply leave children to do whatever they please, hoping they’ll learn on their own the lessons that will help them succeed in school and throughout their lives. These lessons include not just the usual suspects, such as language, math, science and social studies, but, just as importantly, the 21st century skills: the ability to construct relationships among disparate pieces of information, to collaborate, to think creatively about problem-solving, to adapt to the new and unfamiliar.

At Young Audiences, we are honing our focus more and more on integrated arts methodologies that efficiently produce those outcomes for students which educators, parents, communities, and, ultimately, employers want. Our goal is to put the needs — academic, social and emotional — of the whole child at the center of our work, and in so doing, help him or her become a lifelong, active learner.

1 The model we advocate is at some variance with the traditional, hierarchical template for education. Under that regime, teachers disseminate information from above. Students receive, repeat, and, hopefully, retain it. Repetitive learning, as in rote drilling, can be an effective way to learn, but not for everyone, and not for every lesson.

Our emphasis on integrating the arts into learning fosters a different, more interactive type of repetition. By actively experiencing the material from numerous points of view, using various media, each child can pour his or her self into the learning process, in a sense customizing the lesson into a form that he or she can most easily enjoy and absorb. Because the child experiences and re-experi- ences the material on a deeper, more personally relevant level, it is more meaningful and memorable.

This is confirmed by “Reinvesting in Arts Education,” a report from the President’s Committee on Arts and Humanities, which states, “Neuro-Ed Initiative [brain science] researchers at Johns Hopkins hypothesize that arts integration, which emphasizes repetition of information in multiple ways, provides the advantage of embedding knowledge in long-term memory.”

2 3 From the same report: “Studies have now documented significant links between arts integration models and academic and social outcomes for students, efficacy for teachers, and school-wide improvements in culture and climate. Arts integration is efficient, addressing a number of outcomes at the same time.”

Throughout the Young Audiences network, affiliates are sharpening their efforts to use the arts to enlist and engage children as agents of their own learning and growth. Among the most exciting and popular programs are those that fall under the heading of STEM to STEAM, that is, Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics programs that incorporate Arts into the curriculum. In fact, STEM to STEAM figured prominently in the success of our national conference in Indianapolis this April, when Young Audiences of Indiana hosted 80 affiliate participants and explored the theme “Full Steam Ahead.”

4 Here is a sampling of programs our affiliates are offering to foster active learning:

Young Audiences of Northeast Ohio piloted a new STEM to STEAM initiative under the auspices of its existing ArtWorks program. In this initiative, teaching artists, educators and computer program- mers empower learners to design computer games. In so doing, they incorporate diverse skills like teamwork, critical thinking, story development, visual and literary arts, music and sound effects creation and mathematical problem solving to complete their project.

Arts Partners Wichita book-ended a six-week STEM unit on the science of sound with Arts Partners workshops. It culminated in each of 210 seventh-grade students creating an instrument and a presentation demonstrating his or her understanding of the science of sound. Teachers collaborated with artists to interweave numerous music-related activities into the STEM unit to create a through-line of arts to pull the learning together.

5 Young Audience of Massachusetts offers Mass Movement, Inc. residency programs, with a menu of various dynamic dance and movement activities that can be tailored to the curriculum needs of a given class, from social studies to English language arts to science and mathematics.

Young Audiences New Jersey has multi-disciplinary artist-in-residency projects such as Science is ACT-ion, in which students conduct sequential, hands-on science workshops that involve journal writing, storytelling, playwriting and improvisational games, all culminating in a performance.

There are many more examples of Young Audiences affiliates’ creative use of arts integration in the Affiliate Highlights section on page 14.

Young Audiences, Inc. is supporting our affiliates’ efforts with a number of initiatives that strengthen the value of our work. Our four signature elements – experiencing art, understanding art, creating art and connecting art to other learning – provide a unifying theme to our quality demonstrations, workshops and residencies.

6 7 8 Arts for Learning Lessons, last year’s recipient of a U.S. Department of Education’s five-year, $4,000,000 (i3) grant, continues to roll out in the Beaverton School District with the help of Young Audiences of Oregon & SW Washington while the national education research organization WestEd continues to rigorously assess and document this program’s effectiveness. Assessment has come to be a particular strength of Young Audiences, as is evidenced by the recognition given us in The President’s Committee on Arts and Humanities report for our performance criteria and processes in evaluating teaching artists.

We are also working hard to spearhead professional development workshops and become a national resource for best practices in arts integration, both for our affiliates and organizations outside our network. Affiliates such as Arts for Learning/Miami and Gateway to the Arts/Pittsburgh, the newest addition to our network, are helping us enhance our reputation as a national leader in professional development programs. See the National Executive Director’s letter on page 12 for more on our efforts in this area.

All these programs and undertakings are in pursuit of a single goal: to set the stage on which our children can step out and shine. We know that if we enable them to experience the arts, especially interwoven with modern educational techniques, they will reconnect with the enthusiasm and self-expression banked within. We just have to give them the tools to do what is, really, natural to every child: Try; Fail; Adapt; Learn; Succeed.

9 Letter from the Chairman and President

For Young Audiences Arts for Learning, 2011 was a productive and exciting year. As the nation’s oldest and largest arts-in-education organization, we are a resource and partner to any school committed to using the arts to improve teaching and learning. Experiencing and participating in the arts is a crucial part of “In these difficult economic each child’s development; involvement in the creative process has something unique to times, we neither underestimate provide in terms of nurturing self-expression nor are deterred by a greater and creativity. This year, Young Audiences’ 30 need for funds to provide more affiliates presented 85,169 programs to five and better programs and servic- million children and youth in 6,232 schools. es for children, families, schools and communities.” Under the leadership of David A. Dik, Young Audiences’ executive director, the organization is making significant progress in achieving several key goals set forth in the network-wide strategic plan adopted by the board last year. We are creating new multi-arts and classical music residency programs, providing professional development and training opportunities for Young Audiences program and education staff and artists in our signature core services program model, and developing new technologies. And we welcomed a new affiliate, Gateway to the Arts, to the Young Audiences Arts for Learning network in April. As we continue to meet our goals, the network will strengthen and provide yet more robust arts-in-education programs for children and youth.

In these difficult economic times, we neither underestimate nor are deterred by a greater need for funds to provide more and better programs and services for children, families, schools and communities. We depend on enlightened individuals, corporations and founda- tions who recognize the importance of Young Audiences’ work and who make our efforts possible through their generous support. This year, new and continuing Young Audiences programs were underwritten in part by grants from The Starr Foundation, The MetLife Foundation, American Express Foundation and the U.S. Department of Education.

10 We also mention with pride the success of our This year, Young Audiences’ annual benefit held at the Waldorf=Astoria on 30 affiliates presented 85,169 November 18.

Our thanks to Peter and Jill for their outstanding friendship and support and to the Young People’s Chorus of New York City for its inspiring performance at the end of the evening.

All of these accomplishments would not be possible without the commitment and hard work of our fellow trustees. We were delighted to add two very distinguished individuals to our board of directors: Bob Kerrey, president emeritus of The New School, former governor and U.S. senator from Nebraska; and Daphne Kis, CEO at SheWrites.com, Strategy consultant at ContentNext Media, Inc. and advisor at Smart.fm. We welcome Bob and Daphne, confident that they will bring new insights and expertise to our already excellent group of trustees.

The arts are the cornerstone of a complete education. We remain steadfast in our commitment to elevate the stature of arts in education in this country. Once again, on behalf of the entire board and national staff, we thank all those who support Young Audiences Arts for Learning and look forward to celebrating our 60th anniversary next year. Corinne P. Greenberg Nathan W. Pearson, Jr. Chairman President

11 Letter from the National Executive Director

This has been a very memorable year for me as Young Audiences Arts for Learning’s new executive director. I have received such a warm welcome since joining the organization last July. It is a tremendous privilege and pleasure to lead this vibrant network and to work with such a distinguished board of directors.

My first priority was to become acquainted with “Young Audiences is the the Young Audiences Arts for Learning network. “go-to” organization that From August to April, I visited each of our 29 teachers, educators, parents affiliates and met with trustees, staff members and artists. I was very impressed with the and community leaders rely leadership and enthusiasm of these professionals on to provide exemplary and the outstanding work they do on behalf of our arts learning experiences.” nation’s children. In all of these communities, in major metropolitan centers as well as in rural and regional areas, Young Audiences is the “go-to” organization that teachers, educators, parents and community leaders rely on to provide exemplary arts learning experiences.

Young Audiences has the experience and resources to help students meet their academic and artistic goals. Each year, Young Audiences’ affiliates are creating thousands of programs that teach children not only how to sing and draw, but also how to read and write and think creatively. For example, Arts for Learning Lessons and Residencies is a supplemental literacy curriculum program designed to improve student reading and writing skills. Thanks to sustained funding from The Starr Foundation, eleven affiliates impacted more than 11,000 students with this innovative program. And this spring, the Beaverton, Oregon School District started Arts for Learning Lessons and Residencies for 1,300 third-, fourth- and fifth-grade students, thanks in part to the U. S. Department of Education’s Investing in

12 Innovation (i3) grant awarded to the Beaverton School District, YA of Oregon & SW Washington, West Ed and the University of Washington.

In addition to designing and presenting quality arts-in-education programs, Young Audiences has been a pioneer in providing professional development for affiliate staff, artists, teachers and school administrators. Happily, this tradition continued this year thanks to a grant from the MetLife Foundation and funding from the Young Audiences Classical Initiative. Participants from twelve affiliates attended hands-on workshops led by members of the Young Audiences Working Group and learned how to fine-tune existing programs or create new ones in a broad range of art forms. Program staff and artists will use this experience to teach others the skills they learned.

Young Audiences also has a major role to play in identifying and nurturing the next generation of new leaders in the network. Thanks to a grant from the American Express Foundation, Young Audiences held the first annual Arts-in-Education Leadership Institute in New Orleans in June. Twenty-five exceptional staff members from fifteen affiliates attended the two-day symposium on leadership in the field of arts in education. By investing in the next generation, we’ll ensure Young Audiences’ continued impact in local communities and in the field at large.

Again, I would like to thank all of my Young Audiences colleagues for their friendly and cordial welcome. As we approach our 60th anniversary, I am confident of the network’s continued growth and know the long-term future for Young Audiences Arts for Learning is very bright.
