NYC Blueprints for Teaching and Learning in the Arts

I am excited to share that in June of 2016 New York City created an incredible Blueprint for their art educators, K-12.  The following are the different blueprints and may be applied to all art classrooms throughout the state.  It's a fantastic resource of information, one that I am a little familiar with as I was part of a committee that created Blueprints for Los Angeles County.

Art links for the different blueprints:

Visual Arts

Dance 

Music

Theater

The Moving Image


New York City Department of Education that initiated the project:

Office of Arts and Special Projects 

When I worked at Pasadena High School, I joined several committees including Arts for All:

"In July 2002, the Los Angeles County Arts Commission, the Los Angeles County Office of Education Board, and the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved and adopted the Arts for All Regional Blueprint."

Different districts within the county participated in creating our own blueprints for teaching and learning in the arts.  Then all the different participating districts sent their evidence to Los Angeles County Office of Education Board and they created regional Blueprints for the Arts based on everyone's results.  I represented Pasadena High School but we had 4 high schools and several middle and elementary schools for Pasadena Unified.  You can imagine how excited I was to discover this wonderful tool that New York City created.  I'm looking forward to using these in my upcoming school years.
