S66 Vision for Arts Education In today’s globally competitive world, innovative
thinking and creativity are essential for all school children. High quality, standards-based instruction in the arts develops these skills and effectively engages, retains, and prepares future-ready students for graduation and success in an entrepreneurial economy. Dance, music, theatre arts, and visual arts, taught by licensed arts educators and integrated throughout the curriculum, are critical to North Carolina’s 21st century education.
S66 Comprehensive Arts Education
• Arts Education – (arts as core, academic subjects)
• Arts Integration – (arts as a catalyst for learning across the curriculum)
• Arts Exposure – (exposure to arts experiences)
Comprehensive Arts Education
S66 Recommendations for Arts Integration• D.1 Prioritize arts integration as a primary component of education
reform.
• D.2 Require arts integration as a component of teacher and administrator preparation and licensure.
• D.3 Use the NC Educator Evaluation System (NCEES) to assess teachers’ use of arts integration.
• D.4 Use arts teachers as resources and consultants for arts integration within schools and across Local Education Agencies (LEAs).

1)a general knowledge of the fundamentals of music, dance, theatre, and/or visual arts; and
2)the ability to create interdisciplinary lessons/units that integrate the content areas with the arts to enhance classroom instruction and student learning.”
State Board Policy TCP-B-002Standard 5 of the Birth-Kindergarten specialty standard (2009):
•B-K teacher candidates “create and adapt environments and intentionally plan and implement an integrated curriculum that facilitates every child’s construction of knowledge and provides a strong foundation for lifelong learning.”
•In the Emergent Creative Arts, B-K teacher candidates must:
1. facilitate children’s creative expression through dance/creative movement, drama, music, and visual arts;
2. use the arts to represent ideas;
State Board Policy TCP-B-002
•(continued) In the Emergent Creative Arts, B-K teacher candidates must:
3. help children learn about and appreciate a variety of art forms and artists;
4. integrate the arts to support learning in all content areas (including cultural diversity); and
5. apply creativity to problem solving, risk-taking, and critical thinking.
