Vision for Arts Education

• In todays globally competitive world,
  innovative thinking and creativity are essential
  for all school children. High quality,
  standards-based instruction in the arts develops
  these skills and effectively engages, retains,
  and prepares future-ready students for graduation
  and success in an entrepreneurial economy.
  Dance, music, theatre arts, and visual arts,
  taught by licensed arts educators and integrated
  throughout the curriculum, are critical to North
  Carolinas 21st century education.
