Yesterday we met with 16 art, music, dance and theater teacher leaders throughout Maine to plan Phase II of the Maine Arts Assessment Initiative. Lots of creative ideas for ways to improve teaching and learning in the arts filled the day. This is critical work, because the arts teach vital 21st century skills and quality assessment helps both teachers and students to improve learning. You can read more about this exciting project on the Maine DOE’s blog, written by Visual and Performing Arts Specialist, Argy Nestor.
