Enduring Understandings & Essential Questions that are both broad and discipline specific. Cornerstone Assessments that demonstrate student learning. Artistic processes (Creating, Performing / Presenting / Producing, Responding & Connecting) in the arts disciplines. Process Components that illustrate the non-sequential cognitive and inquiry-based actions that might occur during art making. Standardsthat demonstrate—discipline by discipline—student outcomes and artistic literacy gained through standards-based arts education and engagement in creative practice. A non-hierarchical framework
Artists utilize inquiry, curiosity, exploration, and experimentation to integrate ideas from various sources to create personally meaningful works of art. The manipulation of the basic arts elements and principles affect the expressive qualities of artworks and their interpretations. Artists analyze, evaluate, and refine their work over time toward an ever-rising standard of excellence. Artists choose to follow or break established conventions in pursuit of expressive goals. Enduring Understandings (Generic)
Why do people make art? Where do artists get their ideas? What kind of artist am I? In what ways do available resources, tools, and technologies affect artistic expression? How do the arts reflect, as well as shape, culture? Essential Questions (Generic)

Plans for support • Guidelines for Program Review Evidence • Annotated examples of evidence • Future web-based professional learning
rotation • Allows schools to focus an in-depth review on a minimum of one program area • Plan for improvement, include in CSIP • All program areas will receive an in-depth review on a three- to four- year cycle • Continue program improvement identified by previous year’s data • All reviews submitted annually in ASSIST
All program reviews must be entered into ASSIST for 2012-13 • Data entered into the 2011-12 diagnostic will not carry over • Arts and Humanities, Practical Living/Career Studies and Writing for school accountability • K-3 for the field test
In-depth process • “… a systematic method of analyzing components of an instructional program …” (KRS 158.6453) • On-going, year-round, reflective. • Suggested minimum of three formative reviews per school year
Beginning of the school year: • Current level • Identify program strengths and areas of improvement • Develop initial improvement plans • Ensures programs are prepared for quality implementation • Determine where school-wide integration skills are needed
Mid-year: • Engages stakeholders in formative reflection about their programs based on evidence identified to date • Ensures programs are being implemented as planned • Affirms program needs are being addressed • Informs the decision to continue or adjust
Year end: • Determines the level of school-wide natural integration across content, program areas • Provides annual check up for each program • Allows reflection on impact of program improvement decisions and implementation of earlier strategies • Informs decisions for the next school year
Evidence • Natural result of teaching and learning • Student product • Students have met standards and objectives • Occurs on an ongoing basis • Supports the stated rationale • Could a reasonable outside person look at a school’s evidence and reach the same conclusion about a program rating as the school team did?
