Awarded a 3-Year Research Grant for US Dance Education (2001-2004) from the US
Department of Education - Office of Education Research and Improvement (OERI)</b></p>
<p>Title: Research in Dance Education: Identifying patterns, trends, and gaps
in research; determining research priorities for dance education and
initiating new research; building national/state networks to effect change in
policy and practice; and establishing a Research Center for Dance Education.</p>
<p>The National Dance Education Organization (NDEO) will conduct an extensive
research initiative in order to learn what research exists in the field of
dance education in its myriad contexts and how it addresses educational issues
in the United States such as: student achievement, kinesthetic learning/brain
research, creative process, integrated arts/interdisciplinary education,
multi-cultural infusion, children-at-risk, equity issues, policy,
certification and teaching standards, national and state content standards,
assessments, etc. NDEO will examine the research for patterns, trends and
gaps; determine priorities; and sponsor field-initiated research grants (RFPs
and commissioned) to stimulate new research in areas found lacking. A report
to the nation (Research Priorities for Dance Education) will be published,
disseminated, and recommendations implemented through extensive national and
state networks designed to effectuate changes in policy that impact children
and teachers in the classroom. NDEO will partner with a major university to
establish a Research Center for Dance Education so the important work of this
grant will continue and dance education can eventually become an equal and
important art form in U.S. education as mandated in the Goals 2000: Educate
America Act.</font></p>
