| Description |
The goal of the Arts Residency Interventions in Special Education (ARISE) Project is to help "at-risk" youth in San Francisco, CA develop creative expression, critical thinking, and basic learning through the arts.
All teaching artists receive training on the Cycle of Artistic Inquiry, a teaching method that prepares them to help youth gain the most from the experience. During "residency", an artist goes to a classroom (Artists-in-Schools) or a non-school setting (Artists-in-Communities) once or twice a week for a minimum of 10 weeks and a maximum of 30 weeks. Artists work with site staff to set learning goals that go beyond technical training in a particular art form.
