Updates from the Curriculum Frameworks and Instructional Materials Division

2019 California Arts standards

The final publication version of the California Arts Standards for Public Schools, Prekindergarten Through Grade Twelve (Arts Standards) has been posted on the standards web page at https://www.cde.ca.gov/be/st/ss/vapacontentstds.asp. The publication version is in portable document format (pdf) and includes a Special Acknowledgements section with the names of the members of the Visual and Performing Arts Standards Advisory Committee, publication ordering information, and hyperlinks to glossary terms. The Arts Standards may also be searched and cross referenced with other content areas using the Search the Standards Webpage at https://www2.cde.ca.gov/cacs/ or using the mobile application available for download at https://www.cde.ca.gov/re/mo/castandards.asp. Even when using the search platforms to find and review standards, the introduction to the standards that is only found in the PDF contains vital information for educators who are engaging in preliminary learning about the standards.

2020 Arts Framework

The State Board of Education-adopted pre-publication version of the California Arts Education Framework for Public Schools, Transitional Kindergarten Through Grade Twelve (Arts Framework) supports the implementation of the 2019 Arts Standards. The framework chapters (adopted in July) are posted on the California Arts Education Framework page at https://www.cde.ca.gov/ci/vp/cf/. The Arts Framework is being prepared for publication which includes the addition of special acknowledgements and other front matter and professional editing, and design. While the Arts Framework is being prepared for publication, educators can use the prepublication chapters to access the updated framework content.

2021 Instructional Materials Adoption

On September 22, the application period closed for Arts Education instructional materials reviewers. Applicants will be evaluated, then selected reviewers will be recommended to the Instructional Quality Commission at its November meeting. The State Board of Education will ultimately appoint reviewers at its January meeting. Selected participants will participate in a week-long training in April, with adoption deliberations to follow in July. The CDE will invite publishers to submit in late January.
