2022 Arts Education in Schools Survey

To respond to the changing needs of schools across Oklahoma, the Oklahoma Arts Council gathers input through a statewide arts education survey administered every two years.

For the 2021-22 school year, as many students and schools have returned to in-person learning, the Oklahoma Arts Council recognizes that new challenges may continue to arise for teachers, students, administrators, and others. The goal of this survey is to take a snapshot of current school needs related to arts education so that our agency can consider strategies for meeting those needs through our grants, programs, and services. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.

NOTE: This survey was designed to be completed by individuals representing public or public charter schools serving students in any grades from PreK-12th grade. Individuals working in other types of schools or organizations may find that not all questions are applicable.
