39. State Board Policy TCP-B-002 Standard 6 of the Teacher Specialty Standards(2009), requires that elementary grades teacher candidates are “knowledgeable in and are able to design and implement learning tasks that demonstrate: • a general knowledge of the fundamentals of music, dance, theatre, and/or visual arts; and • the ability to create interdisciplinary lessons/units that integrate the content areas with the arts to enhance classroom instruction and student learning.”

40. State Board Policy TCP-B-002 Standard 5 of the Birth-Kindergarten specialty standard (2009): • B-K teacher candidates “create and adapt environments and intentionally plan and implement an integrated curriculum that facilitates every child’s construction of knowledge and provides a strong foundation for lifelong learning.” • In the Emergent Creative Arts, B-K teacher candidates must: • facilitate children’s creative expression through dance/creative movement, drama, music, and visual arts; • use the arts to represent ideas;

41. State Board Policy TCP-B-002 • (continued) In the Emergent Creative Arts, B-K teacher candidates must: • help children learn about and appreciate a variety of art forms and artists; • integrate the arts to support learning in all content areas (including cultural diversity); and • apply creativity to problem solving, risk-taking, and critical thinking.

42. Teacher Evaluation Process (2009) Teachers recognize the interconnectedness of content areas/disciplines Standard III, Element C “Teachers understand how the content they teach relates to other disciplines in order to deepen understanding and content learning for students.”

43. NC Pre-service Arts Integration Initiative

44. NC PAII - Goals • Support the preparation of pre-service educators to deliver a balanced education. • Identify models and practices to prepare pre-service educators to integrate the arts. • Foster collaborations to create access to a comprehensive arts education in our state.

45. Committee • Diverse, state-level • Representation from: • IHEs (Education and Arts Education) • Arts Educators • Administrators (principal, superintendent) • Community Partners

46. Committee’s Work • Review reported data from IHEs on how they currently prepare educators to integrate the arts. Identify trends and gaps in that reporting. Find ways to dig deeper into researching what IHEs are doing and how well it works. • Identify models and/or practices that help move forward this statewide conversation.
