 Membership
in AAEC
We invite you to become a member of the Alaska Arts Education Consortium.
We believe that all students can reach their full potential, and that
in many cases, the arts are key to student success. We are a non-profit
organization committed to preparing and supporting educators so that
they can teach the arts in and across the curriculum. Contact Jeanne

Where can you find funding for the arts, teacher training or even
joining the consortium? According to a letter from Secretary of
Education Rod Paige, Title I, Part A can be used for arts education,
Title II Teacher Quality Enhancement Grants can address teacher training,
and portions of Title II funds can support joining nonprofit, arts/cultural
organizations. Clearly, you can use parts of Title II funding
to join the Alaska Arts Education Consortium.
Benefits
As a member of AAEC you will receive:
- Priority space for teachers from your Title I schools for our 2008
Basic ARTS Institute to be held in Juneau and Fairbanks
in July-August. Funding for teacher travel, food and housing is provided
in part by three federal grants aimed at demonstrating that the
arts can increase language arts achievement for students. This
benefit alone is worth the membership fee.
- Priority space for your teachers in the 2008 Institutes
(limited to 30 per institute), summer 2008 in Juneau and Fairbanks.
- Districts joining at $1000 level receive inservice support.
- Access to communications networks and resources.
- Recognition in Alaska State Council on the Arts and other state publications.
