Paul Thompson from the NYC Department of Education explains how arts education indicators are incorporated into school progress, quality reviews, and principal annual performance reviews. He emphasizes the use of established frameworks and best practices in their approach.

Use of the Danielson Framework for teacher support and evaluation in arts education
Blueprint for Teaching in the Arts used as a baseline for best practices
Development of programs and professional development experiences grounded in Danielson and the Blueprint
Large citywide PD experiences for teachers, with up to 3,000 attendees, as well as smaller borough-based PDs

Correct.

1:07:13

Not everybody understands the value.

1:07:15

Everybody likes going to a great theater but they don't know the work that goes into it.

1:07:19

Absolutely.

1:07:20

What specific art education indicators are used to factor related to school progress, quality review, principals annual performance reviews and we talked about Danielson.

1:07:32

Nano domain four is one of them.

Paul Thompson

1:07:36

Yes.

1:07:37

So again, we predicate everything that we do around either Danielson for teacher support.

1:07:43

So all of our and that's either where we're working with principals or teachers.

1:07:49

Again, because there's a good amount of calibration that you have to do to understand Danielson through an arts lens.

1:07:55

The other thing that we do again is just use the blueprint for teaching in the arts as the baseline for what the best practices are.

1:08:04

And so as we develop our programs, whether it's P fellows, whether it's the three large sort of citywide experiences, PD experiences that we provide for teachers annually where we get upwards of 3,000 teachers showing up at our PDs or the much smaller borough based PDs that we do for teachers.

1:08:28

We try to ground all of our work in Danielson and the Blueprint.
