• Assisting liaisons in data collection for the Creative Schools Certification Program
• Identifying resources and opportunities to share with arts liaisons
• Planning arts partner showcases with liaisons and Chicago's arts and culture sector
The Team is approximately a 3 hour monthly commitment, and participation in a summer Leadership Institute on July 22 and 23, 2013 is strongly encouraged.

*CPS Arts Liaisons connect students, schools, and communities to resources and opportunities to grow and expand arts programming for their school in music, dance, drama, and the visual arts. Each Liaison identifies, develops, and leads arts programs that will have a positive impact on learning. And each year, they will work toward new rigorous goals that meet the needs of their school community.
