As August fast approaches, the thoughts of summer vacations, good books, and sun, turn toward classroom organization, supply ordering, and lesson planning...so for you "early birds" here's the latest.
You've heard about them at staff meetings, you've read about them, and you've even talked about them with your colleagues. That's right, the Ohio Department of Education is proud to announce the highly anticipated....NEW FINE ARTS STANDARDS!
As of early June 2012, ODE has made final approval of new standards in the area of fine arts. What you may notice on first glance, is the updated format that is more user-friendly for everyone. As you begin your thinking and planning for the 2012/13 school year, you may want to check with your district on how they plan to adopt this new format. If you have any questions regarding these standards, you should contact your district's curriculum support personnel, or you can e-mail Nancy Pistone, ODE Fine Arts Consultant, nancy.pistone@ode.state.oh.us.
Here is a a direct link to these new standards via ODE.
