These meta-cognitive activities nurture the effective work habits of curiosity, creativity and innovation, critical thinking and problem solving, communication, and collaboration, each of which transfer to all aspects of learning and life in the 21st century.

  24. RECOMMENDATIONS Developed by MI Youth Arts Forum Access for All – MDE &MSBOE, in partnership with concerned statewide organizations, determine the reason more than 100,000 students attend schools without any arts education and provide recommendations and strategies to reduce this number to zero. Accountability – Michigan Department of Education require schools to publicly report annually information regarding access to arts courses; level of student participation; educators assigned to provide instruction; and a demonstration of how schools are meeting the arts standards. Arts Education Policy – Michigan State Board of Education adopt a policy addressing the importance of arts education in a student’s holistic development while outlining what a high quality arts education is in Michigan. Arts Education Strategic Plans – Each school district include the visual and performing arts education in district strategic plans. Develop Appropriate Student/Teacher Assessment System – Development of an appropriate assessment system, centered around the acquisition of skills and knowledge in all four arts disciplines, to be piloted in the 2013/2014 school year.

  25. RECOMMENDATIONS Arts Education Funding – Michigan Department of Education convene a task force to develop a recommended level of funding to support arts instruction in the public schools. Identify Schools in Need – Michigan Department of Education and Michigan State Board of Education identify schools where arts instruction is unavailable or very limited and support policies and resources that restore arts education in those schools. Professional Learning – Michigan Department of Education work with the appropriate professional organizations to increase professional development for educators and school and district administrators. Weigh Courses Equally – School districts weight courses in the visual and performing arts equally with all other courses in calculating a pupil’s grade point average, including honors and/or advanced placement arts courses. Target Resources – Michigan foundations and other grant making agencies and organizations use these Michigan Arts Education Survey results to help direct resources to areas of greatest need.
