National Standards

The National Standards for Arts Education Developed by the Consortium of National Arts Education Associations (under the guidance of the National Committee for Standards in the Arts), the National Standards for Arts Education is a document which outlines basic arts learning outcomes integral to the comprehensive K-12 education of every American student. The Consortium published the National Standards in 1994 through a grant administered by MENC, the National Association for Music Education.

Washington EALRs
Essential Academic Learning Requirements
and Grade Level Expectations

The arts documents are created to provide clarity and specificity that includes: Grade Level Expectations (GLEs) for each arts discipline for K-12 learners, the Evidence of Learning (EOL) that will demonstrate the GLEs, and specific examples that students can do to demonstrate they can meet and exceed state EALRs and CBPA expectations of each GLE and EOL. These "draft" documents provide a full picture of the expectations for the visual arts and will eventually include possible resources, "live links", and CBPAs in a clear design and consistent format. This design and format provides content that is clear, rigorous, research based, and aligned to state and national standards, while utilizing the visual art vocabulary.
