Vision for Arts Education
In today’s globally competitive world, innovative thinking and creativity are essential for all school children. High quality, standards-based instruction in the arts develops these skills and effectively engages, retains, and prepares future-ready students for graduation and success in an entrepreneurial economy. Dance, music, theatre arts, and visual arts, taught by licensed arts educators and integrated throughout the curriculum, are critical to North Carolina’s 21st century education.

Artistic Literacy
• What is your definition of artistic literacy?
Artistic literacy is 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.
–It is embodied in specific philosophical foundations and lifelong goals that enable an artistically literate person to transfer arts knowledge, skills, and capacities to other subjects, settings, and contexts. (January 2013 – National Coalition for Core Arts Standards Framework)

Proficiency
• implies a thorough competence derived from training and practice
• implies knowledge as well as technical skill
Suggested Student Profile
• Upon entry to high school level study, it is suggested that each student be assessed via a student profile
• This profile should be maintained throughout the high school career, so that each student has a history of his/her education, academic performance, and experiences in the arts.
Suggested Student Profile
• The profile documents:
– arts education and student academic performance in any of the four arts education disciplines at the K-8 levels,
– arts studies that the student has completed outside of the school (private lessons, internships, studio classes, etc.).
Student Placement Practices• student profile
– previous and continuing arts education (in and out of school experiences)
• checklists (standards-based)
• pre-requisites
– (completion/mastery of previous level standards)
• other criteria
– (auditions, products, portfolio, etc.)
Arts Education Think Tank
• Statewide representation
• First meeting on 9/27/2012
• Examining proficiency and collecting and documenting evidence of student proficiency in arts education
Evidence of Student Growth: Classroom Examples
• Consider uploading examples to help other arts educators in North Carolina to understand how they can capture evidence or student learning and growth in the arts.

Why this model?
Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts and Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects
State Literacy Plan Priority Action Steps (Approved by SBE May 2012)
• Literacy Strategies in each content area
• Focus on digital literacy
• Understanding of CCR Anchor Standards and CCSS for Literacy applications for all PreK-12 teachers:
– for each content area,
– for specific grade content requirements,
– in relation to 21st Century Skills and Themes
Teacher Evaluation Process
Teachers recognize the interconnectedness of content areas/disciplines
Shared Expectation
“The Standards insist that instruction in reading, writing, speaking, listening, and language be a shared responsibility within the school. . . . .”
From the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts & Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects, pg. 4
CCSS Standards Supplement Content Standards
• The intent of the standards is to supplement, not replace discipline-specific standards. (CCSS Introduction, Page 3)
