Chicago Arts Partnerships in Education: Collaboration Laboratory, 2021-2022

Abstract

This research reveals two teaching artists’ dynamic practices that emerged from participating in the Collaboration Laboratory (CoLab) professional development and coinciding classroom arts-based co-inquiry projects of Chicago Arts Partnerships in Education (CAPE). The researchers draw upon the 60-year-old Reggio Emilia Approach as one of the most widely recognized examples of sustainable partnerships with contemporary artists in an educational system with notable comparisons to CAPE. The Reggio Emilia Approach and CAPE disrupt educational systems that narrowly define curriculum by working with contemporary artists to co-create arts-based inquiries with teachers and students. The following research question guided the investigation: How do the practices promoted in CAPE’s CoLab professional development framework guide first-year CoLab teaching artists’ co-construction of art inquiry with classroom teachers and students?
