Abstract

What is necessary to make creative partnerships in education work? Arnold Aprill, the Founder and Lead Consultant of the Chicago Arts Partnerships in Education (CAPE), will discuss the concepts of "in-reach" (the roles and relationships that make partnerships work), "alternating currents" (how leadership is effectively shared and distributed in partnerships), and "radical compliance" (turning mandated learning objectives into inquiry-based explorations). He will present real world examples of how these concepts work in action, and will describe the kinds of professional development and documentation strategies that successfully demystify the process of creating and sustaining meaningful creative partnerships in education.
