Strengthening and Expanding Arts Education in California Public Schools
The California County Superintendents believe that all California students from every geographic region and at every socioeconomic level deserve in-depth arts learning as part of the core curriculum. The Statewide Arts Initiative works at all levels to strengthen and expand arts education in California Public Schools and increase student access to sequential, standards-based arts education through a full complement of services utilizing the statewide county office of education infrastructure.
Arts Education & The CA Dashboard
The content is organized in alignment with the CA School Dashboard with statements demonstrating the impact of arts education on each dashboard indicator and student groups considered for Differentiated Assistance (DA) eligibility along with research supporting the impact statement.
This resource is intended to help administrators see that cuts to arts education will only serve to hurt, not help, students and dashboard indicators. The language used in this resource is intended to be accessible to all while remaining rigorous enough to be utilized in educational settings and documents (LCAPs, SPSAs, etc.)
