5. PLAY THE STANDARDS FACT OR FICTION GAME!!!!

6. Ask some questions?

7. Philosophical Foundations, life-long learning goals, Enduring Understandings/Essential Questions, and Anchor/Performance Standards, all of which are intended to guide the curriculum development and instructional practices that leads to arts literacy for all students. The standards emphasize…

8. The standards are grade- by-grade Prek-8 and include three levels in high school: Proficient Accomplished Advanced

9. Proficient A level of achievement attainable by most students who complete a high-school level course in the arts (or equivalent) beyond the foundation of quality PreK-8 instruction.

10. Accomplished A level of achievement attainable by most students who complete a rigorous sequence of high-school level courses (or equivalent) beyond the Proficient level.

11. Advanced A level and scope of achievement that significantly exceeds the Accomplished Level. Achievement at this level is indisputably rigorous and substantially expands students’ knowledge, skills, and understandings beyond the expectations articulated for Accomplished achievement.

12. Timeline December 2011 NCCAS establishes discipline writing teams June 2012 Face to face writing team meetings January 2013 Conceptual Framework for Standards released publicly; Face to face writing team meetings March 2013 8th grade standards reviewed by 492 invited reviewers in 50 states

Artistic Advisors give feedback on the standards September 2013 High school draft standards review by invited reviewers October 2013 Beta testing of web-based set of standards January 2014 Public review of PreK-12 standards, including draft model cornerstone assessments February 2014 Editorial work to finalize standards March 2014 NCCAS participating organizations accept standards Planned release of national core arts standards on the web

14. 1.Preliminary Friends & Family Review of the draft 8 th grade standards was completed in April. Almost 500 respondents, consisting of groups selected by the NCCAS leadership organizations, as well as state teams of educators, teaching artists, and community arts providers reviewed the work created by discipline writing teams in dance, media arts, music, theatre, and visual arts. The Review Process Explained

15. II. Open Public Review The public was invited to review the draft PreK – 8 standards in July. More than 250 Theatre Education professionals completed the review and contributed comprehensive feedback. III. Public Review of Draft High School Standards III.Final Public Review Last chance for public input on PreK-12 standards, including Model Cornerstone Assessments, beginning in January, 2014.

16. The Conceptual Framework is a narrative document outlining the grounding philosophy, primary goals, dynamic processes, structures, and outcomes that shape student learning and achievement in dance, media arts, music, theatre, and visual arts, as articulated in the 2014 National Core Arts Standards. http://nccas.wikispaces.com/Conceptual+Framework

17. Artistic Literacy is the knowledge and understanding required to participate authentically in the arts. Fluency in the language(s) of the artists’ the ability to create, perform/produce/present, respond, and connect through symbolic and metaphoric forms that are unique to the arts. It is embodied in specific philosophical foundations and lifelong goals that enable an artistically literate person to transfer arts knowledge, skills, and capacities to other subjects, settings, and contexts.

18. Research 1. International Arts Education Standards: A Survey of the Arts Education Standards and Practices of Fifteen Countries and Regions 2. Arts Education Standards and 21st Century Skills 3. College Learning in the Arts 4. Review of Selected State Arts Standards 5. Child Development and Arts Education: A review of Current Research and Best Practices 6. Review of Connections between the Common Core State Standards and the Core Arts Standards

19. Artistic Processes are the cognitive and physical actions by which arts learning and making are realized. Creating Performing Responding Connecting

21. Process Components are the subsets of actions that support and illuminate each artistic process relative to the arts, as expressed by individual arts disciplines. Components for theatre Creating: ENVISION/CONCEPUALIZE, DEVELOP Performing: REHEARSE, SHARE/PRESENT Respond: REFLECT/INTERPRET, CRITIQUE Connecting: INTERRELATE, EMPATHIZE

22. Anchor Standards are overarching PreK - 12 statements expressing the process components as expected outcomes; they identify Grade 12 expectations for learning.

23. Enduring Understandings and Essential Questions focus on what are often called “big ideas.”

24. Examples of Enduring Understandings (EUs) Responding Theatre artists reflect about their work and the work of others. Performing Theatre artists share and present stories, ideas, and envisioned worlds to explore the human experience.

25. Essential Questions (EQs) encourage a pedagogy of inquiry. Examples EQ for Responding: How are the theatre artist’s processes and the audience’s perspectives impacted by reflection and analysis? EQ for Performing: What happens when theatre artists and audiences share a creative experience?

26. Performance Standards are based on process components and are the grade-by-grade articulation of student achievement in the arts.

27. Example One of a High School Performance Standard Process: Create Component: Develop/Proficient Employ vocal and movement techniques to convey specific dramatic intention.

28. Example Two of a Performance Standard Process: Perform Component: Rehearse/Accomplished Prepare and refine a drama- or theatre-based work using existing styles or genres.

29. Example three of a Performance Standard Process: Respond Component: Critique/Advanced Research and synthesize cultural and historical information to support artistic choices.

30. Example four of a Performance Standard Process: Connect Component: Empathize/Proficient Employ drama processes and theatre experiences to demonstrate how compassion for the feelings and emotions of others occurs.

31. Model Cornerstone Tasks are provided within the standards to illustrate the types of learning experiences and modes of assessment that can be used to demonstrate achievement of the standards. They will be field tested and include: assessment tools differentiated learning strategies benchmarked student work

32. The 2014 National Core Arts Standards will be web-based
