FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Michigan Arts Education Instructional Blueprint and Assessments
to be Developed
The creation of a Model Arts Education Instruction and Assessment (MAEIA) program
for Michigan has been announced with a partnership between the Michigan Assessment
Consortium (MAC), Data Recognition Corporation (DRC), and the Michigan Department
of Education (MDE). The partners, MAC and DRC, were selected by MDE to develop these
valuable resources for Michigan's elementary and secondary schools in response to
needs identified by the 2012 Michigan Youth Arts Survey [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?t=hli6lplab.0.crbhmplab.c8xo74bab.0&ts=S0847&p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.michiganyoutharts.org%2Fadvocacy%2Fsurvey].
The Survey gathered data from Michigan's K-12 public schools on the key components
of a comprehensive arts education; results from this survey were presented to the
Michigan State Board of Education at its December 2012 meeting.
MAEIA will include an Arts Education Instructional Blueprint that will provide a
 detailed description of a high quality instructional program in the arts, an Audit
Tool for districts to use in assessing the quality of their arts education instructional
program, and finally, assessment specifications and prototypes that will guide the
future development of student assessments in the arts.
Development of MAEIA will begin in January 2013 and the MAC has issued a call for
writers and reviewers in each of the four arts disciplines. The application deadline
is January 21, 2013.
Complete details as well as the application and full press release can be downloaded
