2008-2009 Arts Education Census
For the first time, the Arizona Department of Education is undertaking a school by school census to find out how arts education is delivered to Arizona students.
We hope to use the information you will provide to help us:
- Identify best practices in the delivery of arts education in Arizona so we can share those practices with you and your colleagues around the state.
- Identify areas where students aren’t able to access the arts and target those areas for additional assistance and support, including financial support when possible.
Several partners have joined in this endeavor to illuminate arts education practices in our state, including the Arizona Community Foundation, the Arizona Commission on the Arts, Northern Arizona University, Arizona State University and the University of Arizona. This survey is based on a successful census model created for New Jersey by Music for All/Arts Education Research Project (http://artsednj.org/index.asp).
We invite your participation in this data collection process and look forward to hearing what is happening in the arts for you and your students. We invite you to work with your arts teachers (music, dance, drama/theatre and visual arts teachers) to help you complete the survey.
If you have any questions regarding this project, please feel free to call Lynn Tuttle, at 602-364-1534 or e-mail her at Lynn.Tuttle@azed.gov, or Rolanda Bell at 602-364-1997 or e-mail Rolanda at Rolanda.Bell@azed.gov.
