Arts Foundational Skills Progressions
Arts|Learning has been contracted by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) to develop Foundational Skills Progressions in the various arts disciplines. We are seeking feedback from professional arts educators across the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in order to strengthen and revise these documents before final submission to DESE for approval and adoption. These Skills Progressions are intended to supplement and be in alignment with the current 2019 MA Arts Curriculum Framework.

This survey should only take 5-10 minutes to complete.

If you have any questions about these documents or this survey, kindly contact Arts|Learning at info@artslearning.org. Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey. Your opinion counts!
