Available supports for high quality arts education practice. With the coming graduation and assessment requirements in the arts, schools across the state will need to significantly increase their capacity to provide high quality arts education. To support this effort, a variety of resources are already available. OSPI is providing key leadership for arts education statewide. Sixty classroom-based performance assessments (CBPAs) in the arts have been developed by the OSPI Arts Office in partnership with a team of arts educators in dance, music, theatre, and visual arts, including arts administrators and classroom teachers. The CBPAs require students to create, perform, and respond, utilizing the creative processes of the arts and demonstrating that instruction and learning have occurred in the arts in alignment with the arts EALRs. CBPAs in each of the arts disciplines are available for voluntary use in grades 5, 8, and 10 in the 2005-06 school year.
