HRCE Art Education Survey
The Nova Scotia Art Educators Society is seeking information about school based visual arts programming for grades 7-8 in the Halifax Regional Centre for Education.  We are collecting information to build an accurate picture of the current state of arts education in the area.  We will use the information you provide to advocate for students, teachers, and communities. The Nova Scotia Art Educators Society is an independent organization of educators, we are not associated with the NSTU. All questions are optional. Please contact Robin Jensen admin@nsarteducators.ca if you have questions or concerns about this survey.  We will not use identifying information in our advocacy and aim only to protect and enhance art education programs in Nova Scotia.
