RECOMMENDATIONS: POLICY
IN PROGRESS Require schools and districts to sign an annual
statement stating that they are teaching the arts according to the Arizona Academic Standards in the Arts.
Continue collecting and analyzing data on arts education;o Embed arts education reporting within the state’s data
system for education,o Undertake a stand-alone mandated arts education census in
2012-2013 to monitor progress since 2008-2009.
RECOMMENDATIONS: STUDENT CENTEREDIN PROGRESS Strengthen curricular, instructional and
assessment approaches aligned to Arizona Academic Standards in the Arts through pilot programs, research and web-based resources;o Develop assessment tools, products and processes to
determine student proficiency in arts learning. Schedule an Arizona Department of Education
review of schools where no arts instruction is available so information, policies and resources may be aligned to support the restoration of arts education in these schools.
RECOMMENDATIONS: TEACHER SUPPORT
IN PROGRESS Collaborate with the Arizona Charter School
Board and the Arizona Charter Schools Association to assist charter schools on the law requiring arts education in K-8 and high schools, and provide technical assistance to charter schools to meet Arizona Academic Standards in the Arts.
