The New York City Department of Education (NYCDOE), on behalf of the Office of Arts and Special Projects (OASP) seeks proposals from organizations experienced in providing high quality arts education services for students in grades pre-kindergarten to 12 with optional related Professional Development and/or Parent Engagement Services. Component A - Direct Student Services with optional related Professional Development Services. Component B - Parent Engagement Services. The purpose of this MTAC is to continue to provide services that effect the advancement of teaching and learning in visual arts, the performing arts (dance, music, theater) and the moving image, for students who participate within the various programs. These offerings may include accompanying professional development planning and/or evaluation sessions as an addition to the delivery of the primary arts services for students. The inclusion of these additional types of services will enable schools to optimize value for the benefit of their students’ achievement in the arts and to allow the services to have meaningful impact on classroom practice and schools’ curriculum goals. Vendors should identify and include program models that have proven to work best with students.
