February Board of Ed: arts standards

backup is here
Peyser feels...something...isn't embodied in standards that follow
art appreciation, arts history, vocabulary
"more guidance, expectations for how broad, how deep"
McKenna: timeline?
plan is to send for public comment, back for Board approval in June, next year as a planning year, implementation in the following year
"significant burden on teachers throughout our system"
no funding for implementation or PD
"created a standard and then not provided the support to get to that standard"
"this is very important, I'm very enthusiastic about it, but it is A LOT."
discussion of how a standard might apply across disciplines
Moriarty: what kind of lead time do you need for implementing new educational training
McKenna: the rules change, they're already in the program...the lead time usually isn't long enough
"this is a road far to travel here"
"look at these...could you do these?"
Riley quips members "could present in June" following up "I'm looking forward to the interpretive dance from the Secretary"
Stewart: could we put on the agenda next month? critical point on funding
"where do we want to go"
