Hoping it will be listed with other assessments ordered from state.  Have your district order some

Assesses individual students and also programs

Not designed to assess the student in the year that they take the assessment.  Culminating experience

State released 1st draft (music)

New resource guides for 4 arts area – visual arts to be released in fall for comments – very impressive

 

Quote:  Roseanne DeFabio – NYSED

“ Maybe the best AIS for a student could be work in the arts” – meaning that the state does not want students pulled out of music or art for AIE – Maybe they need more
