Material Detail

The development of the new arts standards (2014) reflects the oversight and collaboration among all of the key stakeholders, including a conceptual framework and matrix that is uniform across all of the arts disciplines, while reflecting the specific qualities and characteristics of each arts discipline. The 1994 Standards do not provide this level of uniformity with the primary consistency reflected in publishing all of the four disciplines (visual art, music, dance, and theater) in one publication. The context of "big ideas" positions the standards within a complete framework that also includes Philosphical Foundations, Lifelong Goals, Enduring Understandings, Essential Questions, and Model Cornerstone Assessments. Grade level standards are covered for grades PreK through by individual grade levels. High school standards are addressed in three levels--proficient, accomplished, and advanced. The standards are organized around the the artistic processes of Creating, Presenting, and Responding, reflecting the use of these terms within the NAEP Arts Assessment. (However, Presenting is being used by visual arts, whereas Performing is used by dance, theater, and music, and Producing is used media arts.)
