All Illinois children deserve a quality, comprehensive education that provides a solid foundation for success. This must include the arts as part of the core curriculum. Arts instruction, like other core subjects, must be standards-based, sequential, equitable, and sustainable. JUST RELEASED: Committing to Quality in Education: Arts at the Core can assist schools, school districts, arts organizations, and parents in developing standards-based, quality arts education programs. It is a follow-up to Arts at the Core: Every School, Every Student, ground-breaking research that revealed widespread inequities in arts education in Illinois. Arts at the Core: Every School, Every Student Arts at the Core: Every School, Every Student is the first statewide survey of principals and superintendents to assess arts education in Illinois. The research reveals broad disparities in the levels of arts education offered in schools throughout the state. Both publications are projects of the Illinois Creates coalition, a statewide initiative led by the Illinois Arts Alliance. Learn more about the Illinois Creates initiative.
