ASSESSING STUDENT LEARNING IN THE ARTS Effective formative and summative assessment of student learning drives improvement in arts education. Teacher-developed assessments that align with standards-based instruction facilitate student learning. Locally developed districtwide assessments and national assessments help teachers and administrators measure and improve the quality of their programs. The Status Survey showed that 94 percent of schools reported using some type of assessment in the arts. Eighty-eight percent of schools reported using teacher-developed assessments to track student progress while results showed 8 percent using district-level assessments that were required, 6 percent using assessments that were developed at the district level but not required and 4 percent using assessments developed outside the district. PROVIDING INSTRUCTION BY LICENSED ARTS SPECIALISTS Providing high-quality instruction in the arts includes ensuring that those who teach the arts have licenses that reflect competence in the practice and pedagogy of their arts disciplines. According to ODE data, 83 percent of schools reported that all teachers who taught arts courses in the 2009-2010 school year were licensed in one or more of the arts disciplines they taught. (See Figure 11.) Ninety-four percent of the teachers in those schools were licensed for every course they taught. Between 94 and 97 percent of the most commonly offered courses in music and visual arts were taught by teachers licensed in those disciplines. (Page 8 details appropriate licensure in the arts.) Table 7 (next page) shows all the arts courses offered, each with the total number of courses taught and the percentage of those courses taught by teachers licensed in the disciplines taught. The table indicates that over 90 percent of most music and visual arts courses were taught by arts specialists. Less than 85 percent of drama/theatre courses and less than 65 percent of dance courses were taught by teachers with licenses in those areas. Visiting artists taught drama/theatre in at least one grade in 29 percent of schools that offered drama/theatre and 33 percent of schools that offered dance. Key Finding: Most Ohio teachers providing arts instruction are appropriately licensed.
