About The CMIE

Centrally located and managed at the Metropolitan Opera Guild offices, the CMIE builds on its past record of establishing innovative Music PLUS Music Integration Practices for the MIENC as a strategic priority for improving school culture and performance. As our regional centers establish new partnership sites and disseminate practices within and across school districts, the following questions will be addressed:

  • What are the most important factors of continuity and sustainability of MIE practices in Laboratory Schools?
  • What factors of program development and impact must be documented and tested in order to proceed effectively with the dissemination of LLSN work in regional centers?

The new Music-in-Education Research and Development Center will a) guide action research processes in regional centers, b) oversee MIENC research design, data collection processes, and development of school digital portfolios, program development reports, program development materials, and research reports, c) convene conferences, pre-professional and professional development programs, and d) conduct basic and applied research in funded projects in inter-related areas of music, arts, academic and social-personal learning both within and outside the MIENC

In this same period of time the Metropolitan Opera Guild will become a new center for the MIENC, the MIERDC in service of the its own education programs and an expanded Metropolitan Opera Guild laboratory network of arts organizations, schools and university partners based on the principles and practices of the MIENC.
