National Guild For Community Arts Education

The National Center for Creative Aging, in cooperative agreement with the National Endowment for the Arts, is developing a national Creative Aging Directory. Guild associate director, Ken Cole, will be advising NCCA and the NEA on the directory's development. The database will be a resource for older adults who want to get involved in the arts, teaching artists looking for partnership opportunities in their area, and more.

National Guild Executive Director Jonathan Herman will take part in the National Endowment for the Arts' Research Roundtable, "Improving Arts Learning through Standards & Assessment" on Tuesday, February 14.

More than a dozen experts in the fields of educaion and arts learning will examine standards and assessment in K-12 education from a variety of perspectives. Findings  from a new national study commissioned by the NEA, Improving the Assessment of Student Learning in the Arts, will also be discussed.

A live webcast of the roundtable will be broadcast from 8:30 AM to 3:00 PM EST on the NEA's website, arts.gov. More information on the will be available at the end of January.
