Creating a Community For All Learners

Applications Closed June 15th, 2024

The member organizations of the National Coalition for Arts Standards (NCAS) are seeking educators to participate in the next phase of “Creating A Community For All Learners- Reimagining Standards-based Arts Education for Equity & Inclusion", a project focused on reassessment of the national arts standards through the lens of culturally responsive teaching and student-centered instruction.

In phase I of the project, a panel of expert advisors representing diverse heritages and communities, convened to review the standards for areas of needed change or revision. The group performed a rigorous gap analysis to assess the national arts standards for cultural sensitivity and inclusion, producing a guidance document for standards creation and use.

In this next phase, a cohort of teachers and teaching artists representing the five arts areas will be chosen by the NCAS member organizations from PK-12 educational programs and school districts representing rural, suburban, and urban communities.

Selected educators will choose a frequently taught standards based lesson from their own practice to revise and pilot, using guidance created by the panel of experts. Participants will be asked to: -

  • attend a two hour virtual training in August 2024
  • revise a lesson plan of their choosing based on guidance for culturally responsive teaching
  • pilot the revised lesson in their classroom in Fall of 2024
  • provide NCAS with the final revised lesson plan
  • attend a final reflection meeting Total time commitment is estimated at 6-10 hours.

Selected educators will be paid an honorarium for their work. To apply for consideration as a dance participant please submit application below.

This project is supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts.
