The purposes of the Elliot Eisner SIG are to:

• promote scholarship that applies, extends, critiques, and reinvents Eisner's scholarly contributions and core principles towards the overarching aim of school improvement
• act as a catalyst for the development, implementation, and evaluation of curriculum built upon the foundation that Eisner established
• provide the opportunity to continue conceptualizing and improving educational criticism and connoisseurship in contemporary educational settings
• encourage new forms of evaluation based on Eisner's ideas
• examine ways to conceptualize education (formal and informal) from arts-based perspectives
• foster discourse that challenges, champions, and reconceptualizes Eisnerian thought
• mentor emerging scholars of curriculum, school evaluation, qualitative research, the arts, and school reform
