The Arts, Common Core, and 21st Century Connections
January 17, 2012
Sponsored by SEADAE (State Education Agency Directors of Arts Education)
Presenter: Joyce Huser, Kansas Department of Education, Fine Arts Education Consultant
Joyce worked with her English Language Arts Colleagues from Kansas, Lee Hanson and Susan Schiffelbein. They created the Common Core ELA document in the slide presentation.
Joyce was on the team that created the Art Skills Map for the Partnership for 21st Century Skills. The partnership is a national organization that advocates for 21st century skills for every student. The document provides information on how the arts teach 21st century skills and fulfill the needs for today's learners. The webinar provides the connections (crosswalk) between arts standards, Common Core ELA standards, and the 21st century skills. The power point includes a graph that exhibits the skill demands for arts related careers for 2008 - 2018 which shows the skills taught in arts education classes. The source for the work force data in the graph that Joyce created is located at: http://www.onetonline.org/.
