Visual and Performing Arts

The central mission of The California Arts Project (TCAP) is to influence reform in arts education by providing quality professional development for arts educators at the pre-kindergarten through post-secondary levels. TCAP is committed to creating a sense of personal and professional connectedness and to building a statewide cadre of accomplished teacher leaders who are able to inform, reinforce, and advance continuing arts education reform efforts. Participation in TCAP fosters the development of knowledgeable arts educators who take responsibility for the development and implementation of comprehensive and sequential programs in all the arts and at every educational level. TCAP's programs and activities are designed to deepen teachers' knowledge of dance, music, theatre, and visual arts, and to enhance teachers' instructional strategies in the teaching of these disciplines. Through its Project sites and the activities of its Members, TCAP constitutes and active collegial network of educators who are committed both to using what they have experienced in TCAP and to sharing it with colleagues. TCAP's programs and activities support the components of the California Visual and Performing Arts Framework (1996) and are guided by the basic assumptions outlined the California Arts Project: Model and Program Design. These assumptions give rise to five Programs Strands, which create the foundation for TCAP Site Institutes, Institute follow-up and other activities, including the statewide Leadership Academy.

The Mendocino County Office of Education works in collaboration with TCAP. Kristine Alexander is the Executive Director; contact information:work - (909) 880-7542 work fax - (909) 880-7545 kalexand@csusb.edu

AVID
- an acronym for Advancement Via Individual Determination, is a research-based program that identifies, recruits, and prepares students for four-year college eligibility. AVID serves students who are often the least well served in our schools -- students in the middle who are capable of success, but who are not reaching their potential. The program provides students with an academic elective class, scheduled during the school day, that emphasizes writing as a tool of learning, use of the inquiry method, collaboration, and reading. Through summer institutes and professional development, AVID also helps restructure teaching methodologies schoolwide, so that more students can succeed in college-prep classes. This regional program serves north-state counties including Mendocino County. Contact: Gail Wright at 707-524-2805 / gwright@scoe.org
