Purpose: to review current fine arts standards and to make recommendations for updates/changes in those standards if deemed necessary 5
Coming Together We have had seven meetings: ● December 1 1 , 201 7 - Introductions to the work ● February 2, 201 8 - Research & Discussion ● April 1 6, 201 8 - Standards writing ● June 1 1 , 201 8 - Standards alignment ● July 1 6, 201 8 - Visual art crosswalks ● August 3, 201 8 - Music crosswalks ● August 6, 201 8 - Theatre & dance crosswalks 6
Collaborative Work We have worked side by side as a vertical group, K-1 2, breaking into smaller groups by content area (dance/theatre, music, and visual arts) to discuss content specific information. This ensures continuity from grade level to grade level and consistency and cohesiveness between fine arts areas. 7
Standards and Best Practice As a large group, we have researched, examined, and discussed what skills and knowledge are best for the students of Missouri, during their time in school and for their lives beyond the classroom. We have also discussed what fine arts teachers might need as they work to teach students these skills and concepts. 8
Recommendations of the work groups: Revisions of standards in: ● Dance ● Music ● Theatre ● Visual Arts Inclusion of fine arts standards in : ● Media Arts ● Early childhood or preschool standards in all areas of fine arts 9
Our Progress ● Written a draft of the standards ● Currently writing crosswalks ● Intend to write resource documents including: ● Glossary ● Suggestions for students (examples of what students would do to meet the standards) 10
Timeline: Fall 201 8 ● Future work meetings to further develop resources and finalize drafts of the standards December 201 8 ● Anticipated standards draft for December Board of Education meeting Mid December 201 8 - February 201 9 ● Period of time for public comment and review 11
