Alliance for Arts Education about the work. We have kept you up to date on the blog and invited you to pro- vide feedback, ask questions, and offer suggestions. I want all of you to be informed so when the opportuni- ties are provided you take advantage of them. The initiative plan is explained on a wiki at
http://maineartsassessment.pbworks.com/w/page/28365527/Maine-Arts-Assessment. I urge you to read and reference the information as the work moves forward. We will be selecting arts educators from each region of the state to take on a leadership role to help disseminate the information. I am well aware that exemplary assessment work is happening and you will have the opportunity to share your work. There will be a deposi- tory for assessment examples that you can contribute to as well as take from. Please be ready to contribute your good work. Another document you might find interesting that accompanies with the information on the wiki is a timeline which you can find at
http://www.dipity.com/mllama4/Maine-Visual-And-performing-Arts/. This is an interesting tool that you might want to use for your own work.
LOOKING FORWARD
Along with our state work there are changes in the works at the national level as well. The meartsed blog has posts on that and you can also go to the State Education Agency Directors of Arts Education SEADAE site to learn more at
http://www.seadae.org/. I will keep you informed of the work as it unfolds. The national work is called National Expectations initiative and the organizations endorsing and supporting it are: MENC, NAEA, EDTA, AATE and NDEO.
I expect it to be another very exciting year and appreciate all the outstanding work you do each day in your classrooms and school communities! Please do not hesitate to contact me with questions and feedback at
