FINE ARTS LEADERSHIP TEAM UPDATE

The Arts Education Data Project is coming to Iowa! The Department of Education has signed on to funding this project and we are in the early phases of mining data. Goal: What is the status of arts education in our schools? The data will be a means to an end to strengthen and extend student engagement, access and participation in the arts. The Arts Education Data Project will take existing data acquired by the Department of Education and make it usable in our field. This data project is already active in 10 states with New Jersey being the first state to include data on their state/school report card. Mid-Spring is the estimated dashboard release date for Iowa art educators to view.
