Futuring the Future


Strengths:• Describes multiple, possible outcomes• Forces rethinking the present• Identifies weakness in an event• Improves communication and decision planning• Flexible and adjustable to any planned foresight

Weaknesses:• Time-consuming• Requires suitable participants• Proper data needs to be collected• Difficult not to focus on one outcome

Strengths:• Looks at a wide-range of trends• Utilizes various sources• Looks at external factors that may effect change• Provides true data-driven intelligence• Forces an understanding of community & culture

Weaknesses:• Time-consuming• Requires suitable participants• Proper data needs to be collected• Many sources may contain different data• Constant changing variables• Scanning trends accurately

Scenario:Developing possible, alternative events within futuring

Based on real information identifying and analyzing what will happen

Scanning:Systematic method that focuses on a wide-range of trends (education,

politics, society, technology, etc.)Turns collected data into usable information


By 2017, the NAEA will have arts education integrated fully within all fifty state curriculums as a core academic subject.NAEA’s 2011–2014 Strategic Plan will help establish these goals for 2017. Five ways to achieve the 2017 plan is:

“The goal of strategic foresight is to make better, more-informed decisions in the

present. Forecasting lays out a range of potential futures to consider so that the

organization can act effectively now” (Hines, 2006).

Deeper community connections Continued advocacy through influencing

stakeholders and decision makers Strengthening learning opportunities Secured research and knowledge Improved organizational vibrancy (NAEA,

2011).

Vision 2017


Vision 2017

Based on Arts Education Partnership 2012 Model

Arts education integrated fully within all fifty state curriculums as a core academic subject under a unified, national plan.


Challenges:Competition in areas of mathematics and science causes cuts to instructional time.Quality of meaningful arts education due to cutbacks and reduced instructional time, funding, and supplies.Poor economic trends and little to no financial support from local, state, and federal areas, Setting art education standards. Teacher effectiveness in basic content and student learning.

Opportunities:Define how art encourages critical thinking, and develops an understanding

of various integrated concepts relating to subject and learning areas.Encouraging critical skill elements of observing, envisioning, innovating,

and reflecting through art education.Strengthening relationships with officials and raising financial support through

continued advocacy.Surpassing national, state, and local standards and enhanced access to art

museums and other community resources.Art educators will meet ethical and rigorous standards of excellence in

preservice preparation, ongoing professional development, pedagogy, and inquiry in the field.

Vision 2017


From 2011 thru 2014, NAEA will address current trends and challenges in arts education status across all fifty states and define a unified, national plan. The NAEA will propose a new united arts curriculum model that defines art as a core academic area and underlines art credibility before 2017. It will begin to meet with board members and officials and design a plan to introduce the new model and will adjust budget proposals and spending. Draft the Vision Plan prior to 2017Learning skills and skills in content domains, using modern tools and technologies, teaching and learning in twenty-first century content and context connecting with life experiences, and using modern assessment are key elements needed to integrate a valid education
