Grant Opp - Music Ed Research
International Foundation for Music Research Invites
Proposals for Music Education Research
Deadline: November 1, 2005
Sounds of Learning: The Impact of Music Education is a major research
initiative designed to examine the roles of music education in the
lives of school-age children.
The goal of the project is to expand the understanding of music`s role
in a quality education. To that end, the International Foundation for
Music Research ( http://www.music-research.org/ ) has announced a
second round of funded research with additional funding provided by
the Fund for Improvement of Education from the U.S.
Department of Education ( http://www.ed.gov/ ) and the Grammy
Foundation ( http://www.grammy.org/foundation/ ).
The Sounds of Learning initiative seeks research about music
education`s intrinsic and extrinsic benefits. A major goal of the
project is to examine music education`s influence on: (a) achievement
and success in school;
(b) all aspects of a child`s growth and development;
(c) the uses and functions of music in daily life; and
(d) home, school, and community environments. The initiative will look
to these research outcomes along with other research to fuel ongoing
policy debates about what constitutes a meaningful and quality
education for America`s children.

Proposals.

Subject: Grant Opp - Hi
School Art
Surdna Arts Teachers Fellowship Program Invites
Applications
Deadline: November 18, 2005 (Letters of Intent)
The Surdna Foundation ( http://www.surdna.org/ ) is pleased to announce
the sixth round of the Surdna Arts Teachers Fellowship Program, a
national initiative to support the artistic revitalization of
outstanding arts teachers in specialized, public arts high schools.
Surdna`s goal is to help arts teachers in public arts high schools
increase their effectiveness as they guide and train young people for
careers or advanced study in the visual, performing, and literary arts.
The foundation believes that if teachers can immerse themselves in
their own creative work and interact with professional artists/
colleagues, they will bring new ideas and practices into the classroom.
The program will enable selected teachers to create art with
professionals in their fields, stay current with new practices and
resources, and create new bodies of work.
Twenty awards of up to $5,000 each will be made. A complementary grant
of $1,500 will be awarded to the fellow`s school to support
post-fellowship activities.
All permanently assigned full- and part-time arts faculty in
specialized, public arts high schools are eligible.
Teachers of the visual arts (including film, video, and other media),
theater arts, music, dance, and creative writing are invited to apply.
Applicants must have been teaching arts in high school for a minimum of
five years and plan to continue as an arts teacher in 2006-07.
For more information and application materials, visit the Surdna
Foundation Web site.
