Key findings: Structure of Standards
High School standards
•
High school standards were most often addressed as a
single grade band, while earlier levels are dealt with
grade-by-grade.
•
In several states, high school standards are addressed in
multiple tracks or pathways
•
Colorado: Fundamental Pathway and Extended Pathway
•
North Carolina: Beginning, Intermediate, and Advanced

Big Ideas
Enduring Understandings
Enduring Understanding 1: Cognition and reflection are required to
appreciate, interpret, and create with artistic intent
Critical Thinking
and Reflection
Enduring Understanding 2: Assessing our own and others’ artistic work,
using critical thinking, problem solving, and decision making skills, is central
to artistic growth
Enduring Understanding 3: The process of critiquing works of art lead to
development of critical thinking skills transferable to other contexts
Skills,
Techniques, and
Processes
Enduring Understanding 1: The arts are inherently experiential and actively
engage learners in the processes of creating, interpreting, and responding to
art.
Enduring Understanding 2: Development of skills, techniques, and
processes in the arts strengthens our ability to remember, focus on, process,
and sequence information.
Enduring Understanding 3: Through purposeful practice, artists learn to
manage, master, and refine simple, then complex, skills and techniques

Media Arts Standards
Example: Minnesota
Primary
•
•
•
•
Developing basic
technical skills to
develop and present
media art works.
Drawing from their
imaginations,
experiences, or the
exploration of ideas
and feelings
Learning how to
generate, capture,
manipulate,
produce, and
present information
Working
collaboratively
Intermediate
•
Working
collaboratively
•
Focusing on the
ability to create as
well as find meaning
in and understand
the impact of media
arts
•
Building an
understanding of the
personal, cultural,
and historical
contexts of media
Middle
High School
•
Focusing on the use of
original imagery and
sound in new
combinations and
multiple formats
•
Focusing on the
development of skills and
abilities for extended
interaction with various
genres of the media arts
•
Developing an
understanding of
media art, beyond
mass media imagery,
and use tools of
production for their own
personal expression
•
Particular emphasis on
using one or more genres
to demonstrate
creativity, problem
solving, and
collaboration skills in
complex works.
•
Expanding technical
base of knowledge
•
Students expertise and
expression should be
developed through more
in-depth review,
interpretation, and
evaluation of their work
and the work of others.
Media Arts Standards
Resource Documents:
•
Every set of media arts standards surveyed had
accompanying resource documents for educators, from
general suggestions for implementation to highly
specific lesson plans and units of study.
Media Arts Standards
Themes and trends in the standards
•
Media literacy as a component of media arts, the way that
responding to works of visual or performing arts are elements of
the standards in dance, music, theatre, and visual art
South Carolina Standards: Media Literacy
The student will access, analyze, interpret, and create media texts
Demonstrate the ways in which a variety of media texts address their intended purpose and
audience .
Create messages using media texts.
Demonstrate comprehension of the effectiveness of the presentation and treatment ideas in media
texts.
Identify the codes and conventions used in media texts and explain the ways in which they help to
create meaning.
Evaluate the creative techniques used in a variety of media texts (for example, television, film,
radio, internet).
Analyze the manner in which the language, tone, and point of view in media texts work to influence
the meaning and interpretation of messages.
Describe the characteristics of particular media art forms and explain ways that they convey
meaning and influence their audience.
Media Arts Standards
Themes and trends in the standards
The Role of Technology:
•
Specific technology types very rarely mentioned (just as specific
musical instruments or art media wouldn’t be recommended in the
other standards
•
Limiting the references to specific types of technology also allows
the standards to evolve as technology does
Interdisciplinary Learning
•
The concept of working across disciplines is especially strongly
embedded in the media arts standards, perhaps out of the
realization that stand-alone media arts classes may not be possible
in every region.
Media Arts Standards
Discussion:
•
Were there any examples today that particularly interested you?
•
In addition to the reference documents mentioned (the P21 skills,
Understanding by Design framework, Bloom’s Taxonomy, NAEP
framework) are there any other resources that you think should be
central to the standards redesign process?
