The New York City Department of Education (NYC DOE) Office of Arts and Special Projects (OASP), in partnership with three of NYC’s most experienced cultural arts partners--STUDIO in a School, ArtsConnection, and Weill Music Institute at Carnegie Hall--propose to implement Arts Achieve: Impacting Student Success in the Arts. The overarching goal for the Arts Achieve project is to improve accountability for student learning in the arts and, in doing so, increase the number of arts instructional hours; the quality of the instruction; and student outcomes related to the arts, 21st Century learning skills, and core content areas, including ELA and math.

Through the use of formative and summative assessments, the formation of PLCs, and targeted professional development, project staff will be able to identify and remedy gaps in their arts instruction in order to offer rigorous and sequential arts programs that build students’ skills in the arts, essential 21st Century learning skills, and core content areas.

Expected outcomes for treatment schools include enhanced teacher and administrator knowledge and understanding of the standards and quality arts programming; gains in schools’ arts instructional hours; and improved student performance in arts, 21st Century learning skills, and ELA and math competencies. Additionally, dissemination outcomes include presentations at national, regional, and local conferences, and use of treatment schools as models of implementation.
