NEA Foundation
The NEA Foundation supports digital arts for its Achievement Gap Sites program, a multi-year investment in school quality and leadership. This digital arts initiative enhances the way that teachers and young people in these key districts experience and acquire 21st century skills.
In partnership, the NEA Foundation and the Pearson Foundation determine specific digital arts implementation plans for each selected Achievement Gap Site district. The resulting programs include a range of professional development opportunities, classroom experiences, and technological capacity grants supported by Digital Arts Alliance partners, the Pearson Foundation, the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE), and Peachpit.
Through the Digital Arts Alliance, the NEA Foundation has established and continues to create a range of programs, from community outreach in after-school programs in Chattanooga, Tennessee, to a multi-year Digital Arts Alliance Leadership Institute conducted in Chesapeake, Ohio, and throughout the Appalachian region. Districts involved in the NEA Foundation digital arts initiative enjoy increased community engagement and enhanced professional communities of teaching practice, all of which benefit school year, after-school, and summer programming.
