OAAE exists to ensure the arts are an integral part of the education of every Ohioan. We develop and support innovative collaborations between schools and cultural institutions to promote the arts as equal partners in the educational enterprise. OAAE speaks on behalf of arts education before policy-makers and provides strategic input to the Ohio Department of Education, Ohio Arts Council, local arts organizations, school boards, parents, and educators. OAAE is a leader in professional development of teachers through in-services, conferences, symposiums, and the development and dissemination of information resources. |
