This document discusses updates from the Arizona Commission on the Arts regarding arts education in Arizona. It outlines recommendations from a census on arts education to: 1) require annual statements from schools on teaching arts standards, continue collecting arts education data, and conduct another census in 2012-2013; 2) strengthen curriculum and assessments in arts education; and 3) provide support to teachers and collaboration with charter schools on arts education. It also discusses developing partnerships between schools and arts organizations, and an agenda for a meeting focused on connecting arts education providers and schools by discussing barriers, model programs, and communication tools.
