THE SOUTHEAST INSTITUTE FOR EDUCATION IN THE VISUAL ARTS
VISION STATEMENT
A. MISSION MENT
The Southeast Institute for Education in the Visual Arts (SIEVA) at The University of
Tennessee at Chattanooga will serve as a Center of Excellence in Art Education as a multi-
state, regional center dedicated to bring about change in education by implementing a
comprehensive program in DBAE for all children through professional development,
curriculum research and implementation, collaboration, and advocacy. SIEVA will perfect
and expand its ability to provide high quality and efficient services to its unique
constituency of teachers, administrators, parents, artists, and museum docents; local, state,
and regional arts councils; art museums; and state departments of education. SIEVA will
continue its emphasis on serving educationally underserved populations unique to the
southeast. SIEVA will provide a model for arts education advocacy and education reform
through its leveraging of support for discipline-based arts education, its administrator's
leadership institute, and its unique partnership with regional arts councils.
B. RAIINA C TUPPORT
From its inception, SIEVA has implemented DBAE in several contexts -- first, through the
context of the design and implementation of staff development in a multi-state region; second,
in a multi-arts context through SIEVA's partnership and collaboration with the research and
development efforts of a substantial magnitude in discipline-based music and theatre; and
third, in the context of serving districts that desire to improve and reform their total arts
education programs. SIEVA's individual and cross-site evaluations denote these unique
qualities which distinguish SIEVA from other Getty Regional Institutes and its contributions to
a regional, multi-state, multi-arts reform initiative that embraces DBAE.
SIEVA has played a leadership role in securing unprecedented financial support and
advocacy resulting in SIEVA's institutional stability within the university, community, state,
and southeast region. Since 1988, SIEVA has leveraged over $1.35 million for discipline-based
visual art implementation. Because of SIEVA's leadership and multi-arts collaboration, The
Southeast Center for Education in the Arts (SCEA) has leveraged an additional $2.89 million for
discipline-based music and theatre, resulting in the most significant outlay of financial
support of reform for arts education nationally in over three decades.
The research and development efforts of SIEVA and SCEA are extremely complex - the
relationship among the arts, and the Getty Center's support of this relationship have allowed
SIEVA and SCEA to bring to the forefront new issues for the visual arts, the performing arts,
and other subjects within the general curriculum. It is DBAE's evolving "practice-to-theory"
regional multi-arts, comprehensive model that has stimulated incredible interest and growth
in SIEVA over the last six years.
SIEVA has led the way in contributing to and effectively implementing a multi-arts
discipline-based approach. In part, it is because of the unique nature of SIEVA's place within
