Lasting Impact


In 2003 the Lower Kuskokwim School District, in partnership with the AAEC, was awarded a PDAE grant that changed the face of arts education in Alaska. By the end of the grant period 106 teachers from 14 districts had participated in an intensive, residential two-week Basic Arts Institute, far exceeding the original goal. In follow-up evaluations teachers reported that at least 5,803 Alaskan students are now receiving more arts education, integrated routinely into their school experiences as a result of their participation in Basic Institutes.
