The North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (DPI) has a new resource hub for the arts education community. 

The NC Art Education Resource Hub is a repository of tools for those interested in and supporters of the arts. The hub was created to provide a place for those in the arts education community to have access to resources in various arts subjects, including dance, music theater arts, and visual arts. 

The arts education community can use the hub to assist with effective standard-based teaching and learning by using the resources to assist their planning and instruction. The hub was designed by the K-12 arts education team at DPI and was created to provide a variety of resources to support school leaders, administrators, educators, and parents/caregivers in implementing the K-12 arts standard courses of study for the 2024-25 school year. 

In July, the State Board of Education approved the new art standard courses of study for music, dance, visual arts, and theater. The updated standards include eight standards separated into four strands.

The NC Art Education Resource Hub is where the communications, standards, and recommended resources for the K-12 arts standard courses of study for the 2024-25 school year live. Users can visit the hub to browse resources. They can also download, share, and adapt resources at their own discretion.

Sign up for the EdWeekly, a Friday roundup of the most important education news of the week.

This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.

Here are the four strands and the eight major standards:

Connect:

  • Relate ideas and works with personal, societal, cultural, historical, and daily life contexts, including diverse and marginalized groups.
  • Explore advancements in the field.

Create:

  • Create original ideas and works, independently and collaboratively.
  • Adapt original ideas and works, and those of peers and other artists, independently and collaboratively.

Present:

  • Perform/present works from a variety of styles, cultures, and genres.
  • Develop presentations.

Respond:

  • Analyze from a variety of styles, cultures, and genres using content-specific vocabulary.
  • Evaluate using content-specific vocabulary.

You can view the proposed standards in each art area in the resource hub.

While the resource hub is housed on Canvas, it is available to interested users through this link: ncdpi.instructure.com/courses/9487
