About Ask for More Arts
Ask for More Arts is a school-community-arts partnership that believes today’s Jackson Public School students need arts learning to improve their academic performance, graduate, and prepare them to become engaged and productive 21st Century citizens.
Our Programs
Professional Development for Educators – AFMA offers strategies for integrating the arts into regular classroom teaching, engaging students of all learning styles in ways that encourages each student’s personal talents and skills, and deepening the learning experience.
Art Smart Parents – AFMA engages parents in learning more about and speaking up for increased arts education in their children’s schools. Art Smart parents provide arts learning at home and support arts experiences in school and in the community.
AFMA Residency – Classroom teachers and teaching artists collaborate to provide arts integration in the classroom and culturally relevant learning through the theme, Our Community – A Sense of Place.
Ask for More Arts is all over Jackson Public Schools. Visit any one of the schools to see what a difference Ask for More Arts can make.
