ESSA - What does this mean for arts education? On December 10, 2015, President Obama

signed the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA)

into law. This piece of legislation continues the

focus on equity and access in education across

the nation since the 1965 Elementary and Sec-

ondary Education Act was enacted. At that

time, this law provided the largest federal aid

to K-12 schooling. Here is a brief overview of

this bipartisan work. Additional details and links

to more in-depth analysis from the Wisconsin

Department of

Public Instruction

and arts organiza-

tions is offered

within this newslet-

ter, page 4.

After 51 years since the implementation of the

Elementary and Secondary Education Act, the

idea of equity and access to quality educational

resources and programming continues to be a

part of our conversations. The resulting federal

programs in each of the Title areas provide

varying types of support to foster opportunities

for all. Today’s retooling of the initial idea for

access and equity now seen in the Every Stu-

dent Succeeds Act 2015, offers opportunities

for more content areas then initially mentioned

in past legislation, No Child Left Behind Act,

2001. There is a common thread for each of

these laws, accountability. ESSA continues the

pursuit of offering all students a quality educa-

tion through a method of holding schools ac-

countable for greater access and equity. The

new law defines a well-rounded education for

students which includes the arts and offers

potential opportunities which had not been

previously available

in past legislation.

Much of the new law

will go into effect in

the 2017-18 school

year. For a look at

this law, visit the WI

Department of Public Instruction page.

Thank you for your patience as the Wisconsin

Department of Public Instruction reviews the

law and it’s application to all

content areas, including the arts.

background, the zip code where they live, deserves the chance to make of their lives what they will."

Disciplinary Literacy is comprised of six tools to investigate

each content area. Check the videos showcasing each tool

with classroom ideas. For additional information click on the

Tip Sheet, DL Arts Rubrics, and newsletter issues 2012-13 #7

& #8 . Each month a DL tool will be highlighted with strategies

for the arts classroom.

Disciplinary Literacy - Arts

Tip Sheet

Writing in the arts involves composing and arranging music, creating images to convey a message, arranging a

sequence of movement in choreography, and

plotting out the blocking of a play in theatre.

These are just a few ways “artists” write. Here

are some other ways “artists” write. They create:

MIDI Sequences Critiques Scripts

Art Compositions Choreography Notes

Title - Polls Everywhere Class Critique Shared by – Jennifer Handrick of Chippewa Falls Description – Formative Assessment: I use a "send a sandwich" format poll and have one student put their artwork in the easel at a time. The poll is projected so that students and everyone else can see all of the feedback. This is a very efficient format where students see a lot of feedback in a very little amount of time. Everyone has a voice and doesn't have to speak out loud. All feedback is anonymous.
