Vision of MAEIA 3-year project•MAEIA Arts Education Instructional Blueprint

provides a detailed description of a high quality instructional program in the arts.

•The Blueprint is based on Michigan’s content standards and is aligned to standards of quality identified by the National Coalition for Core Arts Standards (NCCAS) in development by State Education Agency Directors of Arts Education (SEADAE) and national association partners.

Vision of MAEIA 3-year project•MAEIA Audit Tool for districts to use in assessing

the quality of their arts education instructional program has been developed and is available for voluntary use by districts.

•Assessment specifications and prototypes to guide the future development of student assessments in the arts have been developed and are available for voluntary use by teachers and districts.

•A system for monitoring implementation of the blueprint, use of the audit tools and use of the assessments has been developed.

In the fall of 2011, Quadrant Arts Education Research, on behalf of the Arts Education in Michigan Schools Research Project, began a study of the level of arts education in Michigan schools. Principals of 4,163 schools, including 718 private and 293 charter schools, were asked to complete an on-line survey providing detailed information on arts education in their schools. The survey captured baseline data on arts education, including:• Types of arts courses (curricular and extra-curricular) offered, by grade level (for music, visual

arts, theater, and dance);• Number of students enrolled in arts courses;• Number of hours in a year dedicated to arts education, by arts discipline;• Certification level of teachers providing arts education;• Non-salary budgets allocated to arts education;• Use of visiting artists, field trips, and artists-in-residence;• Professional development offerings to art and general classroom teachers;• Policies in place regarding arts education (adoption of standards, high school arts graduation

requirements, etc.).A total of 826 schools completed a questionnaire -- a 20% response rate. A total of 460,066 students, or 30% of the total student population were represented by responding schools.

▫ Access for All – Michigan Department of Education, Michigan State Board of Education, in partnership with concerned statewide organizations, determine the reason more than 100,000 students attend schools without any arts education and provide recommendations and strategies to reduce this number to zero.

Accountability – Michigan Department of Education require schools to publicly report annually information regarding access to arts courses; level of student participation; educators assigned to provide instruction; and a demonstration of how schools are meeting the arts standards.

▫ Arts Education Policy – Michigan State Board of Education adopt a policy addressing the importance of arts education in a student’s holistic development while outlining what a high quality arts education is in Michigan.

Arts Education Strategic Plans – Each school district include the visual and performing arts education in district strategic plans.

Develop Appropriate Student/Teacher Assessment System – Development of an appropriate assessment system, centered around the acquisition of skills and knowledge in all four arts disciplines, to be piloted in the 2013/2014 school year.

National ContextExit Outcomes for K-12 ArtsCollege Board research asked, “How should K-12 arts Education contribute to success in college and life beyond K-12…”

“develop functional competence in manipulating the basic elements, principles and vocabulary of dance, media arts, music, theatre and visual art; and, to refine one’s work in response to feedback.”p. 15 NCCAS Conceptual Framework c. 2013

Page 14: Arts Education and Assessment

Artistic Literacy defined…The knowledge and understanding required to participate authentically in the arts. Fluency in the language(s) of the arts is the ability to create, perform/produce/present respond and connect through symbolic and metaphoric forms that are unique to the arts…an artistically literate person can transfer arts knowledge, skills, and capacities to other subjects, settings, and contexts.

Page 15: Arts Education and Assessment

Developing 21st Skills Through the ArtsDue to the highly process-oriented and reflective nature of arts making, arts education naturally encourages •Creative thinking•Logical reasoning•Meta-cognition•Fostering connections among arts and

between arts and other disciplines(result= access, develop, express & integrate meaning across content areas).

Underpinning New National Arts Standards

• The philosophical foundations and lifelong goals establish the basis for the new standards and illuminate artistic literacy by expressing the overarching common values and expectations for learning in arts education across the five arts disciplines.

National Core Arts Standards: A Conceptual Framework for Arts Learning

Page 22: Arts Education and Assessment

Artistic Processes by Each Arts Discipline•The Artistic Processes are the cognitive

and physical actions by which arts learning and making are realized.

•Creating, Performing, Responding and Connecting

National Core Arts Standards: A Conceptual Framework for Arts Learning

Page 23: Arts Education and Assessment

Examples of Enduring Understandings• In the visual arts standards for the artistic process of Creating:

▫ “Artists use various sources and methods to make meaningful work.”

• In the music standards for the artistic process of Responding:▫ “Individuals’ interpretation of a work of art is influenced by their

background, experience, and personal aesthetic.”

• In the theater standards for the artistic process of Performing:▫ “Artists analyze, evaluate and refine their work over time toward an

ever-rising standard of excellence.”

• In the dance standards for the artistic process of Connecting:▫ “Form and content in one art form can transfer and interface with

other arts.” National Core Arts Standards: A Conceptual Framework for Arts Learning

ASSESSMENT

Page 28: Arts Education and Assessment

Dance• Standard 1.

▫ Students will perform set dance forms in formal and informal contexts and will improvise, create, and perform dances based on their own movement ideas. They will demonstrate an understanding of choreographic principles, processes, and structures and of the roles of various participants in dance productions.

• Standard 2. ▫ Students will know how to access dance and dance-related material from

libraries, resource centers, museums, studios, and performance spaces. Students will know various career possibilities in dance and recreational opportunities to dance. Students will attend dance events and participate as appropriate within each setting.

• Standard 3. ▫ Students will express through written and oral language their

understanding, interpretation, and evaluation of dances they see, do, and read about. Students will acquire the critical vocabulary to talk and write about a variety of dance forms.

• Standard 4. ▫ Students will know dances from many cultures and times and recognize

their relationship to various cultural, social, and historic contexts. Students will recognize that dance is performed in many different cultural settings and serves many functions in diverse societies.

Performance Event Items

• Exercise A - Choreography and Performance▫ Description of Exercise A: The student works individually to

create and perform a dance study. The study includes at least five dance concepts that include knowledge of stage direction; variations in time, space, force/energy; or specific types of movement. A checklist is provided to guide the student’s rehearsal process.

• Exercise B - Skill Demonstration▫ Description of Exercise B: In 90 seconds after completing

Exercise A, each student will be required to demonstrate, at the teacher’s request, five movement ideas. These movements will be the same for each student, and could include stage directions; specific variations of time, space, force/energy; and/or specific movement vocabulary.

Note: The student creates a movement study and also must demonstrate dance skills. Dance
