2008—Revitalizing Arts Education Through Community-Wide Coordination:“During our interviews in Chicago (October and November 2006), we found little collaborative effort other than that of a group of foundations supporting the school district’s newly hired director for the arts. The city’s many other networks of providers and influencers were involved in their own efforts, but there was little coordination across them.”

Milestones

“If math and reading and science are the exercises, art is the stretching that permits you to lift a little more
weight and do a few more reps.
It is not a break from the important work, it is the equally important enabler that allows you to work
harder and achieve more.”
--Dina Everage, Principal, Wentworth Elementary

DATA COLLECTION
DATA DISSEMINATION
The Starting Point
• 8 in 10 schools have at least one community arts organization offering programming
• An 95% of CPS elementary and 88% of CPS high schools have a certified/endorsed arts teacher on staff
• For both CBOs and certified/endorsed staff, music and visual art are most offered
• Schools are 12x less likely to have a community arts partner if there is not a certified/endorsed arts instructor on staff

CPS Arts Ed Plan Vision:Every student, every art form, every grade, every school
The guiding principle of the CPS Arts Plan is that every CPS student will receive ongoing high quality arts education both in and out of the classroom.
Through a comprehensive and sequential study of visual art, music, dance, and drama from pre K-12th grade, all Chicago Public School students will have the opportunity to develop into innovative thinkers and creative problem solvers who are capable of expressing themselves, understanding others and contributing to their city’s culture and economy for years to come.

CPS Arts Education Plan Goals
21
Cultural Plan Arts Liaisons Implementation Partners
1. District Arts Policy How do you lock-in arts instruction for every student?
2. Arts Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment
With an increased focus on college and career readiness in the 21st century and beyond how can arts education investments set students up for success?
3. Capacity Building With current educational shifts like Common Core State Standards, new teacher evaluation systems, and increased accountability—how do you ensure that all deliverers/implementers of arts education are trained and prepared?
4. Partnership How can we work hand-in-hand with community arts partners to coordinate and align efforts for maximum impact?
5. Data-Driven Decisions
If arts education has been lagging behind its peer content areas, like math and literacy, how can we embed the arts in internal systems and processes to guarantee sustainability, accountability, & evidence of arts learning?
F. Funding How can the arts be funded through multiple streams, both public and private, to address the gaps and move towards a more sustainable future?

Pillars
• Integrate arts education for students at every grade level. The arts are a vital piece of a well-rounded education, stimulating creativity and critical thinking. The CPS Arts Education Plan, adopted in 2012, will now require a minimum of 120 minutes of arts instruction each week by certified art teachers for all students in grades K-8. The curriculum will cover visual art, music, dance and drama. High school students will also be required to earn two credits from these art forms.
