CAPE WORKS WITH 40 CHICAGO AND SUBURBAN PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO FOSTER COLLABORATIONS AMONG PROFESSIONAL TEACHING ARTISTS, CLASSROOM TEACHERS, AND ARTS TEACHERS WHO INTEGRATE THE ARTS ACROSS THE CURRICULUM. COLLABORATIONS TAKE PLACE DURING THE SCHOOL DAY OR AFTER AND OFTEN INCLUDE PROGRAMS FOR PARENTS. THE CAPE MODEL INCLUDES EMBEDDED PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR EDUCATORS THAT SUPPORTS THEIR WORK IN CLASSROOMS. CAPE SERVES LOW-INCOME SCHOOLS THAT STRUGGLE TO PROVIDE A ROBUST ARTS EDUCATION FOR THEIR STUDENTS, AND FOR SCHOOLS THAT LACK ACCESS TO HIGH-QUALITY AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAMS. CAPE'S APPROACH TO TEACHING ENHANCES LEARNING IN THE ARTS AS WELL AS IN OTHER CORE ACADEMIC AREAS SUCH AS READING, MATH, SCIENCE, AND SOCIAL STUDIES. AS WELL AS IN SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING.
