Arts Education includes curriculum standards, professional development, and resources for each of the four arts: dance, music, theatre, and visual art. Curriculum standards are all based on the national standards in each of these four arts. All curriculum standards for K-12 music and visual art as well as for 6-8 theatre have been revised and will be effective fall, 2011. Standards for 6-12 dance are currently being revised.
