9. Vision for Comprehensive Arts Education
In today’s globally competitive world, innovative thinking and creativity are essential for all school children. High quality, standards-based instruction in the arts develops these skills and effectively engages, retains, and prepares future-ready students for graduation and success in an entrepreneurial economy. Dance, music, theatre arts, and visual arts, taught by licensed arts educators and integrated throughout the curriculum, are critical to North Carolina’s 21st century education.
This vision was developed by the S66 Comprehensive Arts Education Task Force and frames professional development and support provided by the NCDPI, in collaboration with statewide partners, including the NC Department of Natural and Cultural Resources, the NC Arts Council, and the A+ Schools Program.
