KEYNOTE SPEAKER – Nancy Carr
Gymnasium
9:30-10:30 AM
Program, Promotion, Profession Following the start of the conference day with the panel discussing teacher training
and professional development for the professional visual arts teachers (and more) Nancy will build on that and talk with us
about our classroom course offerings. She will discuss key components, from a national perspective, to enable us to see
the comprehensiveness of what we offer in our courses that speak to learning for life, to knowing the students' learning
and how to better inform our instruction. Coupled with that will be talk about "how we promote our students' learning and
work, speak to the benefits of student learning experiences in visual arts courses and address having visual arts
instruction in our district's student lives." She will also share with us aspects occurring nationally and currently trending,
that, knowing about now, will provide us the opportunity to build stronger programs at our schools and in our districts for
Idaho.
Nancy Carr was the California Department of Education’s (CDE) Visual and Per-forming Arts Consultant 2001-2009 and
in that capacity worked closely with educators involved in visual arts, theatre, dance and music education, with school
districts as they implemented and expanded arts education programs. She managed CDE’s Arts Education Grant
Programs 2001-2004 and 2005-2008 and was involved in the development of California’s 2004 K-12 Visual and
Performing Arts Framework and the Textbook Adoption for Visual and Performing Arts. She was involved with NCLB or
No Child Left Behind teacher certification, professional development, and course codes and their descriptors. Nancy
worked with the four professional art education organizations and the TCAP Advisory Board. Nancy has devoted 35+
years to public school education and raised three children, gaining perspectives from both sides of the educational
process. A graduate of the University of Washington, she spent 2+ years in architecture and art, completing her work
there in education. Her Masters works were in special education and in administration. She’s been the recipient of art
scholarships in the arts, and enjoyed attending Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts in Tennessee, working with
Cherokee Indians. She’s received educational government grants for work in Marin County and the San Francisco Bay
Area in school reform and teacher profession development. Nancy has taught in Seattle, WA and Arcadia, Daly City, and
Hillsborough, CA. She has been involved with regular classroom teaching (grades 2-6), special education and GATE. She
spent 16 years as a college instructor of graduate courses for teachers and parents. She has held numerous mentor
positions continuously over the past 24 years in the Arts, Art History, Visual and Performing Arts, GATE, Reading,
Standards-Assessment-Matrix Best Practices. Nancy authored teacher texts in math, reading, history, and learning
centers. She was involved with BayCAP and the Subject Matter Projects; a lead facilitator in school reform work through
the California Annenberg-Hewlitt Grant and BASRC (Bay Area School Reform Collaborative); served as a lead facilitator
for reform work with elementary, middle, and high schools, initiating, designing, implementing summer institutes, staff
development, literacy coaching, visual and performing arts coaching, development of matrixes and standards-based
progress reports, evaluation of grants and grant programs, and the many/varied aspects of school reform work. she
whole-heartedly supports efforts to provide students with the core academic subjects of dance, music, theatre and visual
arts. Throughout her journey in education the arts have been the continuous thread, the connectors, her passion for
partnering and emersion (of the arts) within the educational process. Her work at the Department of Education had her
immersed in advocacy for arts education and that grew to national actions, at the same time. Advocacy is not a once in a
while action, but continuous and multifaceted. Nancy hopes her continued involvement in arts education helps to move
the agenda forward, of having art in the daily school lives of all students and in national work for all students having the
arts in their weekly school life.

K-12 Reporting and Using Results Ruth Piispanen, Idaho Commission on the Arts, Arts Education Specialist
ruth.piispanen@arts.idaho.gov Reporting on project outcomes is a persuasive means to advocate for arts education,
contribute to wider knowledge, and open new audiences that may be interested in project design and results. As a key
agency responsible for fostering arts education, the Idaho Commission on the Arts (ICA) has a critical mission to collect,
disseminate, and clarify information on the impacts that arts programs have on youth and on teaching and learning. Ruth
Piispanen, Arts Education Director at the Idaho Commission on the Arts, will share several short and long-term strategies
sought through ICA grants and programs, that impact the ICA’s ability to be more effective in telling its story and
communicate public value so that policymakers, including the ICA, will make more effective decisions about future funding
allocations, and so that, upon reflecting on the qualities and values of their programs, educators would build their own
skills.
