MI ARTS EDUCATION CENSUS In the fall of 2011, Quadrant Arts Education Research, on behalf of the Arts Education in Michigan Schools Research Project, began a study of the level of arts education in Michigan schools. Principals of 4, 163 schools, including 718 private and 293 charter schools, were asked to complete an on-line survey providing detailed information on arts education in their schools. The survey captured baseline data on arts education, including: • Types of arts courses (curricular and extra-curricular) offered, by grade level (for music, visual arts, theater, and dance); • Number of students enrolled in arts courses; • Number of hours in a year dedicated to arts education, by arts discipline; • Certification level of teachers providing arts education; • Non-salary budgets allocated to arts education; • Use of visiting artists, field trips, and artists-in-residence; • Professional development offerings to art and general classroom teachers; • Policies in place regarding arts education (adoption of standards, high school arts graduation requirements, etc. ). A total of 826 schools completed a questionnaire -- a 20% response rate. A total of 460, 066 students, or 30% of the total student population were represented by responding schools.

Dance • Standard 1. ▫ Students will perform set dance forms in formal and informal contexts and will improvise, create, and perform dances based on their own movement ideas. They will demonstrate an understanding of choreographic principles, processes, and structures and of the roles of various participants in dance productions. • Standard 2. ▫ Students will know how to access dance and dance-related material from libraries, resource centers, museums, studios, and performance spaces. Students will know various career possibilities in dance and recreational opportunities to dance. Students will attend dance events and participate as appropriate within each setting. • Standard 3. ▫ Students will express through written and oral language their understanding, interpretation, and evaluation of dances they see, do, and read about. Students will acquire the critical vocabulary to talk and write about a variety of dance forms. • Standard 4. ▫ Students will know dances from many cultures and times and recognize their relationship to various cultural, social, and historic contexts.

Dance Standards 1, 2, &3 • Exercise A - Choreography and Performance Indicators 1(a), (b; , 2(a); 3(c) ▫ Description of Exercise A: The student works individually to create and perform a dance study. The study includes at least five dance concepts that include knowledge of stage direction; variations in time, space, force/energy; or specific types of movement. A checklist is provided to guide the student’s rehearsal process. • Exercise B - Skill Demonstration ▫ Description of Exercise B: In 90 seconds after completing Exercise A, each student will be required to demonstrate, at the teacher’s request, five movement ideas. These movements will be the same for each student, and could include stage directions; specific variations of time, space, force/energy; and/or specific movement vocabulary.
