The Exploratory Enrichment service provides a shared experience that extends beyond traditional classroom instruction. Activities may take place at various museums and institutes, as assemblies or visits to the classroom and are all based on New York State Learning Standards.
Providing access to these resources adds a special dimension to curriculum already in use and an interactive means of reinforcing learning, using imagination and creative thinking. Whether the activity illuminates a past event, reinforces aspects of the sciences, or provides a shared space to explore nature, it engages students and reinforces learning, stimulates use of imagination, and fosters creative thinking.

The 澳门六合图库 Arts Education Advisory Council
Composed of administrators responsible for music and arts programs in their school districts, the Arts Education Advisory Council (AEAC) meets five times each year to examine issues of particular relevance to music, art, dance, theatre arts and creative writing curricula. Depending on need, subcommittees of the Council are created to address certain topics, to conduct research on behalf of the Council and/or to design special events sponsored by the AEAC.
The Arts Education Advisory Council is chaired by a member of the Council who works with 澳门六合图库 to design and conduct the Council and subcommittee meetings. Areas of specific concern, need or interest are addressed and each agenda includes an opportunity for Council members to share information about arts resources.
Council meetings may be held at 澳门六合图库 or in locations that have particular relevance for members. During the past few years, the Council has met at the Tilles Center, C.W. Post Campus of Long Island University, at Old Westbury Gardens, and in New York City, as well as in local school districts.
