Developing a Research Agenda in Arts Education A national conference in May 1992 in Annapolis, Maryland, launched the process of developing a research agenda for the next decade in arts education. The conference, convened by the U.S. Department of Education and the National Endowment for the Arts, brought together policymakers, teacher educators, artists, and representatives of arts professional organizations. Follow-up meetings are planned in different regions of the country. Designing a National Arts Education Dissemination Network To improve dissemination of quality arts education programs to those on education's "front lines," the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, under a contract from the National Endowment for the Arts, has begun work to design a U.S. Department of Education Office of the Secretary Lamar Alexander, Secretary Agnes Warfield, Deputy Chief of Staff Office of Educational Research and Improvement Diane Ravitch, Assistant Secretary and Counselor to the Secretary Francie Alexander, Deputy Assistant Secretary Theodor Rebarber, OERI Associate National Endowment for the Arts Office of the Chairman Anne-Imelda Radice, Acbng Chairman Office of Policy, Planning, Research, Budget Margaret Wyszomirski, Director Mindy Berry, Senior Policy Analyst Arts in Education Program Douglas Herbert, Acting Director national arts education dissemination network.

' A,merica 2000 Arts PartnershipAMERICA 2000 Arts Partnership Dance, theater, music, the visual arts... Through each of its disciplines, art represents a distinct way of exploring and understanding our common humanity and surroundings. Secretary of Education Lamar Alexander has said: "If I were helping to rethink the curriculum of a school in my hometown, I would want instruction in the arts to be available to every student." Yet today, a rigorous and comprehensive education in the arts is available to only a fraction of our children. AU students can benefit from appropriate arts instruction. For students with disabilities, gifted children, those with limited English proficiency, as well as all others, the arts are an important part of a well-rounded education. Acting Chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts Anne-Imelda Radice believes that: "Infusing the aeative spirit of the arts in our schools is an important part of revitalizing American education." A good arts curriculum helps students understand our nation's evolving cultural heritage as well as those of other civilizations. The arts enhance creativity and cultivate each studenf s ability to make informed aesthetic judgments. Additionally, the arts can be used to enhance teaching and learning in all subjects. Properly integrated, arts education helps students develop an appreciation for individual arts disciplines as well as for how those disciplines relate to other subjects. To improve students' knowledge, appreciation, and skills in the arts, the U.S. Department of Education, with the National Endowment for the Arts, is working to advance the AMERICA 2000 Arts Partnership. James D. Wolfensohn, Chairman of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, has agreed to head a group of private citizens to propose options for the Partnership. The AMERICA 2000 Arts Partnership as presently envisioned will include the following seven major components. % . "t: Developing World Class Standards in the Arts The U.S. Department of Education, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the National Endowment for the Humanities have joined to support a national effort to develop World Class Standards that describe the knowledge, skills, and understanding that all students should acquire in the arts. These voluntary, national standards will complement similar standards in science, mathematics, English, history, geography, civics, and other subjects. National standards in the arts will establish a dramatic vision of what is possible and will encourage teachers and students to strive towards the best in arts education for all children. Standard-setting in the arts will be coordinated by a consortium of four organizations: the American Alliance for Theatre and Education
the Music Educators National Conference
the National Art Education Association
and the National Dance Association. The effort will be broadbased involving respected individuals from a variety of backgrounds who are interested in arts education, including nationally recognized educators and artists. Involving AMERICA 2000 Commimities The U.S. Department of Education will work with AMERICA 2000 communities to emphasize the importance of the arts for all students and to help local coalitions improve arts education. Priority will be placed on developing comprehensive and rigorous school curricula in the arts. Community arts institutions and organizations will also be enlisted as partners to broaden students' access inside and outside of school to a wide range of arts experiences, including museums, lectures, live performances, and local artists. Communities will be encouraged to consider including the arts as part of their AMERICA 2000 education strategies. The National Endowment for the Arts, with its partners, the 56 state arts agencies, encourages and funds the creation of collaborative partnerships between state and local arts organizations and the education community. Helping States Implement High National Standards The U.S. Department of Education supports states in the creation of their own K-12 curriculum frameworks based on the voluntary, national standards in the arts. These frameworks will constitute the state's own vision of the education every child should receive, helping to ensure every child the opportunity to learn the arts. They will provide the basis for improving teacher education, professional development, and assessment. Creating a National Center for Alts Education The U.S. Department of Education supports the creation of a National Center for Arts Education, which will involve respected school professionals, scholars, and artists in research and in projects to improve arts education. The Center's activities may include: helping to provide professional development for teachers
supporting artists in schools
assisting in the development of World Class Standards in the arts
building a national resource network of exemplary programs, curricula, research, and ideas made available through videos, software, printed materials, and other means. The Center will also work with AMERICA 2000 communities and recognize outstanding local initiatives. Expanding the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) In cooperation with the National Endowment for the Arts, the U.S. Department of Education plans to expand the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) to include assessment of students' knowledge and abilities in the arts. Preliminary work to develop an assessment framework will begin in July 1992. Support for this phase of the national arts assessment is being provided by the National Endowment for the Arts in collaboration with the Getty Center for Education in the Arts, a program of the J. Paul Getty Trust. Plans call for the NAEP arts assessment to be in place by 1996. Development will be coordinated with the parallel effort to develop World Class Standards describing what all students should learn in the arts. The new assessment will be informed by NAEP's experience assessing the arts in the 1970s, as well as by current exemplary assessments in different states and localities. Individual Approach to a World of Knowledge November 3, 1999 received Mr. John Walker Attorney at Law 1723 Broadway Little Rock, AR 72206 MOV 4 18S9 OFFICE OF DESEGMiQH MONITORINS RE: FOI Request of October 27, 1999 Dear Mr. Walker: Your request for information on consulting services regarding the development, review, and/or implementation of educational programs for the past two years required the expenditure of many, many hours of staff time. That is why we could not have possibly responded by Friday, October 29, as you initially requested. We had to request, wait for, verify, and then organize reports from about 20 different administrators and their secretaries in the preparation of the attached information. To the best of my knowledge, the attached report is accurate. We included, although your request was not clear, the consultants we have paid to conduct teacher training. You also requested copies of correspondence with the listed consultants. To the best of my knowledge, the attached copies are an accurate report. If other correspondence exists, we were unable to identify it at this time. We tend to communicate with our consultants by telephone. Both Dr. Ross and Dr. Roberts have communicated with us, most generally, face to face in meetings. I am attaching a couple of hand-written comments from Dr. Roberts. Thats all I have. I am responding, however, only for the Division of Instruction. Other Divisions may have additional information. Please note that Phale Hale is Sadie Mitchells consultant, not mine. We included in our report what the District has paid him since you specifically named him. I did not attempt to locate correspondence with him. 810 W Markham Little Rock, Arkansas 72201 www.lrsd.kl2.ar.us 501-324-2000 fax

I am really looking forward to working with you again. I do want to confirm that you will provide the reading/writing workshop training for our middle school language arts teachers on August 9, 10, 11, 1999. Your fee will be $1,500 per day for a total of $4,500 plus all related expenses. I know that you would like for our teachers to have copies of Breathing In Breathing Out and Writing Toward Home. Are there any other books or materials the teachers should have? Please let me know, if so. I am enclosing a copy of our LRSD Middle School Standards, and I will forward the new language arts standards as soon as they are printed. I will also be in touch to discuss in greater detail plans for the three day meeting.

There will only be two workshops and these will be the same. Below is the workshop title and description. Writing Across the Curriculum and Preparing for Performance Assessment The states new assessments are, for the most part, performancebased, reflecting the curriculum frameworks that focus on higher- order thinking skills. Every teacher, therefore, needs to teach students how to write according to the models of their discipline, writing to learn, as well as writing to demonstrate learning. I hope this helps. If you need additional information.

Lorie, thank you for the presentation that you gave to the LRSD high school social studies teachers Thursday, August 12, 1999. Your instructional expertise, the sharing of the strategies and valuable teaching techniques will be of great benefit to our teachers as they implement the block schedule at their schools. The time and effort that you put into the planning and the implementation of your presentation is evident by the positive feedback given by the teachers. I appreciate your commitment to social studies education and your colleagues in the Little Rock School District. I hope that we will have similar activities.

Ms. Kamaras presentation will focus on teaching AP Euro in the block (some of our world history teachers will also be teaching AP European history).

1999-2000 Title I Plan Many changes were made this past spring and summer in our Districts Title I program so that it is more coherent with, supportive of, and supplemental to the Districts regular education program. In addition, we cut significantly the Districtlevel budget so that more funds were available to allocate directly to the schools. The new state accountability system, ACTAAP, and our LRSD Collective Responsibility Plan and Quality Index require more attention to improvement at the school level and, therefore, more resources there. I am attaching a copy of the District Plan that Leon Adams filed with the Arkansas Department of Education on August 31. We can, of course, amend our plan through a process, and we are already thinking about next year. If you have questions or suggestions for improvement, we would be happy to hear from you.

High School Course Selection A IHigh School Courses, 1999-2000 Little Rock School District I I The Little Rock School District (LRSD) has revised its course offerings and graduation requirements in order to better prepare our students for higher education or career opportunities. Future LRSD graduates will benefit from these changes as they finish their high school program having completed more courses. The timing of these changes coincides with the Fall, 1999 consolidation of our four-year high school program by the movement of ninth grade students to the senior high schools. Since graduation credits are earned in grades 9-12, ninth grade students will able to consult with high school counselors about their courses throughout the four years they are enrolled in high school. The following pages present courses alphabetically by subject area. Please note that many courses that were formerly offered in a limited number of schools are now open to everyone, except for some of the magnet courses. Also, parents and students will be pleased to learn Advanced Placement courses are now available at every school. We encourage students to discuss courses with their counselors, teachers, principal or assistant principal in order to make informed decisions. A summary of the new graduation requirements, which go into effect with the class of 2002, is also included. The requirements are presented in a table that also lists current graduation requirements. 1High School Courses, 1999-2000 Little Rock School District Credit-Earning Options for LRSD Students In addition to the credits that students may earn in the traditional high school day at each of the LRSD high schools, students may alternatively earn high school and/or college credits in all of the following ways: 1.
