Submitted by Abigail on June 20, 2011

Please join us tomorrow, June 21, at 2:00 EST/11:00 PST for Arts Education | Common Core: What Are the Possibilities for the Arts?, a web-based presentation by Julie Fry of The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and Richard Kessler of The Center for Arts Education.

About this webinar:
More than two-thirds of the states have adopted the Common Core Standards in English, language arts, and math, establishing clear guidelines for what students need to know and be able to do in order to graduate from high school prepared for college and/or a career. Now that leaders are beginning to ask for shared curriculum guidelines across states, the Common Core standards are poised to change the character of schools (and of instruction well beyond ELA and math) and will be accompanied by new a new curriculum featuring common assessments. But what will the Common Core mean for the arts?

All GIA Web Conference Series webinars are free to GIA member staff and boards. Online Registration is available through the morning of the presentation.
