[PhiladelphiaDANCE.org Listserv] Let Dr. Ackerman know that arts education matters!

[PhiladelphiaDANCE.org]

 On June 1, Dr. Arlene Ackerman began as the new CEO of the School District
of Philadelphia. As the CEO, Dr. Ackerman will be instrumental in getting
the arts back into Philadelphia public schools. Please email her and urge
her to support the district Arts Policy that will go before the School
Reform Commission later this month.

The policy mandates that the arts are acknowledged as a core subject area,
and that a sequential and standards-based arts curriculum is implemented at
all levels for music, art, theater, and dance by highly qualified teachers
and administrators. Furthermore, the policy states that ongoing measurement
of student learning in the arts will ensure compliance with state mandates.
