New Jersey Arts Education Resources: Critical Documents
New Jersey Visual & Performing Arts Standards
New Jersey Department of Education
January-01-96
In the state of New Jersey, increased emphasis is placed on the disciplines of dance, music, theater, and visual art as a critical attribute to the success of students and the state, especially during the formative years of an elementary K-6 education. It is the intent of the standards to ensure that all students have regular sequential arts instruction and that specialization takes into account student choice. The visual and performing arts standards provide both the foundation for creating local curricula decisions and the opportunity for meaningful assessments in all four art forms, while reflecting the expectations of the National Standards for Arts Education.
