Arts Learning Survey for DC Arts Teachers

DC Arts and Humanities Education Collaborative
DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities

As part of our goal to make quality, sequential arts education a reality for all K-12 public school students in Washington, DC, the DC Arts and Humanities Education Collaborative, in partnership with the DC Commission on Arts and Humanities, is working to connect schools with effective tools and resources to improve arts learning. This survey was developed as one in a series of measurements regarding access to quality arts instruction at the school level and it will help inform decision making, planning and directing the provision of community-based and other resources dedicated to arts learning.
