richard that is more difficult to follow commissioners my name is bruce the coffee and my job this evening for the presentation only to provide a brief context for the work that will be presented by the people sitting behind me in 2006 san francisco wrote arts master plan for the last 10 years a guiding vision we moved through the benefit of having funding to the public education enrichment fund but set the low star by way of an education that is for teachers that inspired our teachers for the education under they're on curriculum and something we've done for a while 10 years the arts marts plan is something we're proud p of in 2007 only a year into the plan

superintendant the board commissions the superintendent to create the advising and the continuedcy a group of people inside and outside the district formed the plans and shepherded into his space that group on the tenth anniversary has done the instant work they essential expanded the ranks to include a boarder range of folks within the district to consider the question of whether or not we should engage collective as a community in reaching the master plan you'll hear them present and should we engage the community 2, 3, 4 refreshing this plan we've enjoyed for the last 10 years you'll hear the analysis and the way their knowledge about the opportunity to refresh this plan without

further ado, i'll bring up the speakers and take 60 seconds to make sure our proerj is set up for the public. >> just warming up. >> okay - you know i'm going to begin because as to oh, great approval thank you cameron for the reminder of how important to not

underestimate with stanford students are dissolution in the arts i'm thankful for that so my name is france the program director for the house fund been the chief executive officer of the masters advising and looking back over the last 10 years when we started down the road therapy art teachers they derived away from the schools there were 16 teachers that tried to serve every elementary school and a handful of arts teachers a lot of partnerships with outdoor organizations music was the strongest discipline in the district there was also visual arts and some dance and theatre

music was the strongest and the passage proposition h a great new opportunity to build on what was here the desire to have quality arts education it touches every child everyday in some way brent mentioned we have to master plan and the context is really changed in the 10 years i'll be reminding you many of you lived through we had an era we have 4 or 5 restraint depends on the interns we hadn't counted and the resource that was fantastic and also for a while the states block grant for arts education and that was taken away for many years the star program that was serving schools with limited

resources tea eventually that disappeared we had the adoption of common core and a lot of plans we had beyond the talk and the adoption of the required a g completion high school graduation and the complication of 21st century and all the things we reinforced in the master plan but each 7, 8, 9 we had to adjust more recently, we had the passage of prop c that was exciting with a federal adoption of every student succeeds that is circling for arts education and newly fresh off the press not quite ready for prime time for the arts standards coming down the pike this is something we've not previously had so we're now at a kind of

crossroads with the community has changed and we all agree the master plan needed updating but go through and yet out the language that was now terribly why the and the common core or do we actually need to go deeper and make dramatic change in the master plan brent has mentioned that we formed working groups a lovely illustration of the thing 4 dense meetings where the existing advisory committee invited more to work with us with the masters plan we came up with that presentation i own you'll like we worked with leap frogs and evaluated by the office that provided data how much students with or getting and at which school and kinds of

programs were offered we had a kind of baseline to look at in the 10 years back i want to thank brent for the guidance we commissioner caen by using the mrorlz so they were the way that the master plan was outlined it seems like they held up the important subjects to be addressed so each of the committees that the planning committee divided into that 3 groups one of them you'll hear if people looked at the administration resources one looked at professional development and partnerships and collections and one looked at person instruction and evaluation and each group was asked to identify the accomplishment of

the last 10 years and the challenges the recommendations we would make and how on art subtract fits into the challenges the resolutions and recommendations moving forward. >> so i'm going to ruin the polygamist that that novel how we got to and hear from the other speakers that the thinking that led to it wire recommendations is this plan needs to be significantly refreshed is not an editing job advertised a job that needs to live deeper into looking at the continuity of the program between the elementary and high school how we look at that the and think about equitable on the on the other hand, we think a lot of good work was done in the first 10 years we see this as a plan that will stand on the

shoulder of the first 10 years in the initial version what will happen you're going to get the essence of where each of the workshops that we're choosing what they came up with as challenges and accomplishments and it is - so i'm not going to linger they're hard to read but take them home and read their meant to thank the people that put their effort into doing this work with the dlus you'll hear in the working committees and i'll introduce the special administrative folks. >> good evening and i'm pleased to be here particularly i was on the original group that helped write the arts master plan it is fascinating to look back and see what we've got

right and approved so i'm going to look at the administration leadership one of the most important things to have a strong administrative leadership that oversees the plan looking at the achievement first when you look at trying to build programs to us a large enterprise of having arts for all the children you have to have principle years that was one of the first ones that started that involved identifying and having programs that had professional development how to start so have an arts program and, what the resources are and know what at capacities are what are the challenges marry and so there were representative from middle school and high school and elementary school that were

selected to participate in the principals arts the other thing that happened we started with, you know, a very skeletal staff that were going to oversee the development of the arts master plan and the implementation so over the years they've hired two supervisors in the professionalism arts department as well as 8 teachers for teachers on special assignment through music and 6 individual arts they helped with a lot of things they helped with special development they helped to collect data, they helped to create new programs like the superintendents one of his favorites so, so they did a lot of support for teachers in the classrooms and they do things like helping

teachers under schools understand how to do a calibrated thing that is schedule and getting arts into our schools the other achievement the arts cooperating effort across the district court so arts at every school elementary schools and middle school and high school they helped to work to be a hub for the arts at that school and to connect the arts with provider and do documentation and assessments as we look it we looked at and yeah, this was great we still have challenges one of the things that was identified earlier how do you address the issue of schedule and time and space another schools it's still a challenge that we have to look at we have to look at how do you

create a sequential learn and and one of the challenges we saw one of the things that touches we we have to make sure that students with the greatest needs have arts in their school every child particularly the students with the greatest needs and we have to gaurmg our parents and families as how to understand the importance of arts to learning so what are our recommendations we have a number of them one subsequential learning clear exceptions for all leaders to students continue to develop and two look at we have to have access and share

models for creative switzerland we need parents engagement parents love the arts but parents need to have the experience and the understanding of the importance of arts and really critical connection to how our children learn particularly through the common core, and then creativity and collaboration we have to help our principals and strengthen the understanding for both the secretary. >> quality arts integration that is the issue of the administrative leadership and now jackie. >> hello >> (clapping.) >> hi can you hear me my name is jackie an artist with sfusd and he participated in the professional development and partnerships in clocks with teachers and i'll be presenting

the professional development so achievement offers year-round professional working groups for the classroom teachers our corridors determine the availability of the proposal development and other arts related opportunities voter approved prop a provided development for teachers and should some of the challenges to class the fosters and the quality of professional development in the arts is very inconsistent and teachers are overwhelmed with professional obligates and may not have time for the workshops our recommendations are incorporate arts professional development and site plans,

strengthen professional development in the arts for teachers in the english language learners with the education students and foster care, make visual those for each role and the state of the art technology or some hub to address the things we are finding. >> and now i'd like to introduce who will be introducing the staffing . >> (clapping.) >> good evening. i'm gina principal i'm proud to be the principal for the arts tonight i'll present on behalf of the medic leadership and resources and staff workshop and highlighted

the four achievements our achievements 91.4 credentials teachers have been hired. >> (clapping.) >> the teachers specialize in the additional arts and band and drama and music additional musical instruments are art materials and supplies have been procedure students performances and exhibit has expanded with the least participation in the sfusd arts festival and exhibits and professionalism and lastly increase spending in k through 12 school sites and district need to work in concert for the furnished school site skounldz can be inconsistent with the

oversight as the process is laboring and time consuming it was suggested point administrator and teachers it is the students responsibly another challenge that our secondary students oftentimes lack the access to our opportunities the restrictions maybe due to conflicting retirements you guys need to be providing equal opportunities for all the students and lastly additional staffing is necessary to provide the essential support for students in school sites our workshop recommends target the district planning beyond peace to build equity in the arts and expand the common core curriculum by recruiting

additional spoonfuls and support the sequential learning in the arts as well as the art as a secondary level i'll introduce our coordinator of the parents advisory committee . >> (clapping.) >> good evening my name is georgia i have two children enrolled in two of the high schools in the district i participated in the criminal and workshop and share the achievements and champions we identified beginning with the achievements over the last 10 years we've gained access to the arts and all the elementary school and k through 8 and many million dollar and high schools each school sites as identified the arts program as well as serves as an outdoor partnering we've

seen ownership art form expand over the years to be more devised for the student populations in the schools and communities for example, as latino jazz we've also had now can relies open teachers for special assistants and coach and help the teachers such a distance theatre and music, art, teachers enrich the classes we now have standard benchmarks to help to guide did quality of switzerland and assisting of our arts programs the challenges we've identified around the curriculum instruction that given with we've seen a lot of success in terms of the advancing the arts programs and

the secondary level the challenge of sequence learn because of the where that may or may not be a priority in terms of switzerland and in those same schools we've offered one of the challenges the fang limits the access for some of the students in particular the english language learners and received special education services we've also realized that we really have potential to maximize how to integrate arts into the other areas it is inconsistent across the district like some schools they're doing that well the program diversities the fact we've been able to capitalized with the arts coerce that say, oh to our children we also have a challenge to adopt the

curriculum so address some the challenges we identified those are the recommendations as a group that came up with we visit creative switzerland models how to address this period to considering the 7th day period and how we create that assess for all particularly the arts industry to receiving special education 2030 don't have access we need to insure the standards are driven driving the subsequently learn for the future we recommend that the special development and adopting the benchmarks for the teachers can measure students progress we really you know need to be intentional about making the

connection with arts education to other areas particularly with the common core stat standards and vision 2025. >> at arts we need to make sure we are holding ourselves to the quality and rigor to the arts education and other areas we also, we broadened our assess in terms of the content we need to look at how we are supporting the learning and development skills over time for our students and finally looking at equity we need to look at how are we creating assess for all the students the english learners having assess to the same type of arterials as their peers and

well, they might have off-street parking outside of the school make sure that is a priority during a curriculum today and now i'd like to introduce the student that had been presenting the next. >> good evening, commissioners superintendent i'm leah during the course or director of the academy of science and worked with the group particularly been participating in the professional development group i was able to share my experience not only another sfusd partner but there the lens of sfusd parents tonight i'll cover the section we celebrated a lot of the achievements through peace and through the elementary arts

program and funds that will generate the partnership arts providers and partnership provided learning opportunities and experiences the art program partners with the training in the arts for example, fed they help with the professional organization and with the arts community but it if come without challenges we need more opportunities for arts providers to develop part and parcel this is something that came up again and again and the finding link we are able to don't know which providers are providing the opportunity with the opportunity that we breaking and entering we need more professional learning on inclusion and accessibility that was a big won those are providers may not have the same

assess and the information and training we also need better alignment for outdoor providers inform classrooms and back up so finally our recommendations around two things equity to provide with the arts and have eligibility and finally, the biggest takeaway those partnerships add value schools and classrooms we need to provide the mind for teachers to be able to collaborate this is one message to our students with the experience versus he we're going coming in and here's one and other opportunities with more connections that came through thank you very much and hand it back to georgia. >> (clapping.) >> so navigation to curriculum

i have on the evaluation assessment i'll share the achievements and recommendations so first achievement we identified the peace office work to look at whom has assess and which plans are taught in the school and how many classes are offered and stay informed with the work with the working group decisions and one of the paternities that received professional development as surveyed how we need to improve our program and the aortas coordinators report on the limited and their vision and now moving forward our k through 12 report cards will look at the vision performing

arts and our annual san francisco san francisco unified school district arts festival has been advised with diversity and inclusion and represent the district wide portfolio some of the changes in the area is that you know the original plan didn't provide a lot of guidance with evaluation so the coaches were underdeveloped wire trying to catch up now, when assessing arts learning we need to capture the skills and the learning of our students such as experimentation and fatigue a creativity again you know with the diverse programming we've been able to expand it is hard to capture and measures those how we're doing with just one single contributor tool so moving forward beyond looking

at numbers in terms of measuring the number of programs and students that have seized we need to look at how we're measuring the equity and system change what we are doing especially, as we move forward with looking at developing the social emotional component for example, capture what is the impact of arts education on the special development as academic - so recommendations that caught out of that working group so we would like to see one way to address did equity how can we incorporate the arts plans within the ballot score card in a mature way the balanced squared is something that hsa has every school to provide with

the spending of their money how to capture how we address the arts learning and tie it across the crime with the consent and assess and articulate how to continue to map what we're keeping and what we continue our efforts to collect other tiefs data to inform we're doing well we also need to look at developing and sharing the common vocabulary and in order to do this we 19 have collaborative terms for the quality and arts integration and finally we need to well, we need to look at the tools of redeveloping and look at it systems and quality qualitative at that time, we would like to collect meaningful data and

finally we recommend taking advantage the arts festival formulateing the accomplishments. >> i'm sheri recognize many of you and i'll be here to speak about the arts center i want you guys to think the center as answering some of the questions that were brought up going to be a connecting institution and place that will be a visual sign that san francisco unified school district values the art and that the center provides broad access to all students and faculty of the san francisco unified school district we want to look at the center as

being strategy about users it for things that the school sites are lacking and by lacking i'm talking about the creation of the arts things like vice chair having a venue so far the students to have their artwork or performances a lot of the school facilities in the 30s and 40 echoing not the distance dan rooms for san francisco studios and music equipment and tools for assessable for all students and faculty we like this is a place for the community to gather and that part of our plan is transportation that is provided we're a school and community that is further out so having angle arts center that

brings them in and we look at the center as a place where families gather and celebrate the future of this year young ones and grandmothers and grandparents assessable with wonderful this wonderful city we live in we realize we have employees and staff to go out and learn the new itself things and technologies we expect that as well as from the art we need our artist and art providers and scooter and our principals to experience art what is the kristen what young people are creating now this art center connection will is that special opportunity for information to share not only to enforcement but on a national

basis and then the most important part to create a line and young people develop and experience art they modestly might wanted to have access so this arts connection can be for training and jobs they didn't think of thirty or 40 years ago i wish i paid attention and this center what about that resource that is could be a pipeline to provide quality and career opportunity and council about art schools and scholarships and also a link to the cultural institution that is already here seeking the dan and the musicians and he visual artist i put out calls one hundred times a day not two great or small

making that agency a pipeline not only into san francisco arts but worldwide let me know if i'm talking too of. >> initiative features i'll read after a labor market for experimentation with the youngest programs and media use of art students and teacher resources districts to inform programming and institutional and we're hiring young people amend and bringing them to our organizations they go off in other places then the industry of the costume design and production reporting to care ceramic why not let

other schools share in the scenic design a library and kit team centers and having an after-school programs for the 7 o'clock time zone and the art it is big in the arts industry as well collaboration and activity partner with arts provider and facilities reducing their displacement serve all arts provider plus the community artist and develop robust offering and workshops for teachers now for the final recommendations i am going to pass to an to cyrus good evening board i'm currently. >> (clapping.) >> excuse me - my name is

cyrus currently and about to graduate at galileo high school i would like to bring all the wonderful thing to a close with our final recommendations sfusd sitting rick like the local accountability and public enrichment fund i worked with and work together for the vision of infect and the goals for all students strong leadership development at all levels this is a seismic commitment we're working on with the part of the students and teachers and most importantly the administrative staff to have creativity within the students first entire the great creativity within ourselves and strengthen the articulate in the arts there are benchmarks

communicate exist and potential concerning to parents and teachers and principals offer a fresh opportunity for arts integration and digital arts and -- excuse-me. career and arts programs with the accomplishment in the accountability line the score card in the plans programs called review and all that good stuff we have to report and be accountable for the arts of education and the commitment to quality and academic and integrated learning and cultural just and social and emotional

well-being and vision 2025 . >> (clapping.) >> >> now moving forward on behalf of the wonderful individual eyed i've had had the pleasure to work with and those who are not here and speaking i'd like to have the great honor to ask for a recommit from the san francisco unified school district to the arts education master plan based on the recommendations of the art master plan advisory committee and the workshops thank you very much. >> thank you very much for

that presentation we have two members the public that wanted to speak on the item (calling names) you have yeah 2 minutes each. >> my name is todd burman so i want to speak first, as a long term substitute teacher with the sfusd i'm an artist the substitute teacher as a day job i learned going into a classroom working in middle school and high school when i brought up any textbook they all reinforced and came to the most distracted and at least interested in the school work the arts captured their attendance

and that led me to a professional teacher in arts and somethings i've noticed in studying art and integration and arts education especially with the alameda county office of education the integrated specialist program which really exemplifies the latest research to teach any subject and now i'm also the program director of the arts educational alliance of the area we've been partnering with the san francisco san francisco unified school district for long, long before i was involved well over 20 years doing unanimous arts education fair and involved in the process and i'd like to that the artist

master plan working group has done an excellent job taking the double down and make a difference this is san francisco our students should came out as creative and most initiative students for their generations and make those recommendations thank you . >> (clapping.) >> >> good evening bed-and-breakfast commissioners and superintendent carranza i'll ali speaking because i'm very supportive of the arts i would not be been an indicator not a college graduate if it weren't for the art i'm high supportive of them what is upsetting is that what i've hearing sounds like great but i'm hearing in the parents that is completely different what i'm hearing tonight he know

as you are committed to arts and education i believe when is happening in my daughters school i've telegraph hill advocating to know the basic stuff what is my daughter learn in school and can a teacher tell me that's the california education code as a parent i should be able to ask what is my child learning he still have not an answer to 311 that question and additionally information i requested to share with other parents at any school mostly speaking and not not provided in chinese my principal and i radio partners i have been been vocabulary and mr. stevens i highly right he knows that i kept everyone in the loop i

still do know answers to basic questions i as educator i guess any question is whether we implement the arts and education plaster plan the old plan is great i'm wondering how to trust from the first plan was not implemented how can the evaluate it's success and at the school it is not just me the arts coordinator a the principal are asking for information we're not getting if this plan relies our persistent and teacher and coordinator they are consistently telling me i assume this true at other sites i'm more happy to share information and be a partner in this i

highly support the effort in the arts and education to make sure it is available to all students thank you . >> (clapping.) >> questions or comments from the board. >> thank you so i want to thank you all for this presentation and the i guess i mean any question for you dr. stephen's you know the existing plan makes a simple and very profound; right? every child every school everyday and from both the san francisco magazine article that was referenced earlier the testimony of the advisory committee and

the testimony of the public it doesn't seem like we've kept that i mean would you say we've providing arts quality arts education for every student everyday in every school. >> my answer to this having been a close observer working with the school we're much close then are were 10 years ago and the that have the analyze it that when we start talking about the quality we have a ways to go still we talk about integration into the general curriculum of the art and we talk about really expanding the idea of the subsequential art but talk about the access across all schools we can work on the current plan and see this through so much has changed been the context in the

last 10 years investing and reengage our communities will bring fresh legs to this. >> i'm curious what that looks like so what is that so - what we end up with you know if - i mean the arts master plan the original plan with visionary i completely support it i really support the vision of arts center and the way that the panel you know characterized how it will bring us to the next level he completely agree with that and it is the way to go i also am worried we'll end up with a notebook it operationally is not implemented across the schools the testimony we should hear what they said how can i trust from the person didn't believe how can i trust in

future plans what how does that work and how he realizes the promise of what we can do here and what we all want. >> so i can only - i'm attempt a partial answer that so what i'm convinced of is the energy posed by the group sitting behind me is real and not about putting this presentation in front of a board condominium for years of effort to a deeply engage our community and thinking about the next level and getting us there the idea to reengage the arts education is real in part we now have an opportunity to been the arts center but really real estate there is synergy we need to do more by way of thinking about the dooifshgsing and how it plays outer in terms of assess

and more to make sure that students undergo the curriculum into in other subject areas and in aortas we can dwooe certain milestone they'll be achieved those are things we apply to other curriculum we can apply to the arts and south america without a refresher the plan but feels like it gives us the energy moving forward. >> so how do you envision that coming back to the board with that is this like a community process like how long can you imagine that to be gained can you give sketch out what that looks like. >> so with the co-chairs the committee we'll propose writing a plan for the refreshing taking a month or two to engage probable not as broadly as a

decade ago but to present the board with the communities and establishing a timeline probably by the end of the next school year looking at the full refresher we're not spending the time rewriting and having the community to move forward we are also same making some candidates right now with to the bring on a secondary art advisors for the high schools and how to bureau to liaison more effectively for the schools and so there are things roadway during the refreshing we can take steps on the basis of those recommendations. >> so finally we want to commend thank everyone for coming out and the siding for the great presentation thank you. >> president haney we say to

keep in mind the curriculum because when you start writing the sequential writing what curriculum are you writing for what did it look like and are you inclusive of all art forms someone mentions this evening music if i am a parent we want to commend art and music curriculum for prek through 12 so, yes, i got one yeah. but i think what the point i'm trying to make dr. stevens it talking about the arts master plan give us a mosque plan vision that allows us to tile advantage within the vision

different we recognize that the should be benchmarks for musk and perform in the visual art we know when a student is a graduate of public schools and had the benefit of arts instruction whether visual or professionalism or visual that student will be able to demonstrate certain things i think that is what dr. stevens is saying self-defense an expansive look from the master plan for the art so we hear you and i'm really i as a parent would be dissatisfied with a moderate standard and quite frankly getting very inclusive i

think outside the box what we're trying to accomplish >> ms. wynns. >> so i want to thank you all and everybody that worked on this was a monumental and significant accomplishment we did it 10 years ago and so and he also want to say the idea of the inclusiveness in the community working on that what we want and our work around the art and other things because that is, we have those credible resources and this remarkable commitment and commitment within the district i want to make a couple of observations one of the main themes of the recommendations more time more time more time and some of us maybe all of us are happy that the

recommendations railroad more structural not enough time in a day for - and you're a assessment of that is important to me i think to us we all have that i am not we've been talking about that at least in and out for a long time and didn't mean not a tremendous challenge i don't think you can get for structural time a couple of things the comments that need more time in the structural day for teachers and people at the school that decide to engage in professional development and work with the partners i'd like it took explored more i agree with all of that if not within a full day maybe within the school day but probably not that is really in conflict with our commitment we're trying to do for the last pulling teachers

out of school and find ways for professional development and in other structures that can be created within the school and that brings me to the on the big theme besides time time time the tension between high school decisions and let's tell everybody to do the same thing the themes are the same things we've been discussing and continue to come up in every circular areas i'll hope during the time you're making specific recommends and honestly it would be meaningfulless to say yes. i have we approve of all the recommendations and carry them out this is enforceable given the current circumstances and

may not be possible and not exactly what we want it is the look introduce the art education lens at to structural issues in the school by the way, is your job to be looking that a what i'm hoping this is an opportunity for us to really take this same huge issues we've been discussing in every area and to really get down to talking about that ourselves with our staff about the structure of time both professional time and structural time and the this - potential conflict that i described as tension between we want people to have everyone to be alike for me and everyone that is personal i have exactly that same

intention so that's what i hope you know as you - as a proposed refresher plan would be written that we would be taking the time to think about that has it is related to the arts education master plan and to our instructional i'll say that one, the reasons that time structural certain time important in the 10 years since this ambitious wonderful plan was written and we were struggling to implement this we the board of education and previous board of education and administration have been imposing more and more things making it harder and harder to do what we said we'll do ♪ plan i will respectfully say i

do believe we'll have the prelims that is spotty or perceived as not happening in some places not because people don't want to do it we've made that harder and harder for them to do that some of the end that is imposed by the force of time is the district has been more instructional and professional so - and then he wanted to say something about the oven repeated by here and all of us and this is a discussion about arts education the sequential so maybe not the correct one i'd like to see is something that says here's the way we planned for students and we are commented it this and here's the resources that will take whatever to apply that for students to have those

experiences and those skills but rather than say okay everybody is going to you know we can pick our favorite things in every grade they're going to have the next stage or specific art forms instruction that we'll say in elementary school to have an infrastructure of the various kinds hopefully choices by school sites and counsels and victim teachers by what choices they make and we loophole expect them to have to be exposed to have experience in digital arts and i think we have i think that we ought to, i kind of hope we already have that i'm thinking back but that should be on the school sites they should be asked to say what is your plan

for a implementing the master plan because there is an educational master plan how does that work what are you going to do you know what's your focus and what resources are you applying for what can you do and can't you do we ought to be willing to anytime if we've told certain schools you you'll outlook on this we'll telling them from above i have to i know my parents said we do less and less of that and have our way but still do that by saying certain schools are are not meeting their goals those are our priorities and don't think your accomplishing that but we you know don't give us a plan is that we're giving it back to us unless it focuses on those areas so that's what i hope as the

outline at the beginning the so-called sequential art and lastly i'll say i really the issue of the what schools get to decide themselves is a huge issue no surprise i put myself i want the schools to decide as much as they can but this reexamination of the master plan is a good opportunity through the staff and probation officer people that are monitor that so we say what happened do what is schools actually done and where do we know there big holes off he get a bad mark i've not done

any visual arts in the last 5 years but i think we should know that i think we shouldn't be hearing from other schools why they made those decisions and met the goals and how they get to the city hall's and i think that is easy to get the information why they think they can't do it is really information we don't center this and that and time to do the professional development and music so that's my general sense of what the next steps and how we can think about what commitment to arts education master plan 2. 0 would be and you know if anyone wants to respond to that note now but in the feedback i'll appreciate

that and thank you guarantee again to everybody he permanent appreciate your participation so much. >> so i know this is a very, very important (clapping.) conversation i want to cut it off we want to get 7 o'clock we want to get a public comment yeah. >> commissioner murase. >> i'm so excited this is like one the best presentations i've seen in the 5 years i've been on the board i really want to thank you every single for the process it transparent very inclusive the recommendations their actionable so i really appreciate the way you came to the board i'm thiefld i want to thank the voter without the voters we wouldn't have had the funding to continue the arts education and acknowledge cameron about the students and really want to acknowledge

his contributions tonight just a couple of comments i have been advocating for extended learning days 7 period week or 7 course week i really appreciate that recommendation because we have all the offerings and students can't get it into our schedule he hope we make process and budget piloting. >> really want to resurface that has as priority i want to thank many young for the vision for the art center definitely something i support w40er8d of how to have a resource for the arts center and under closing acknowledge someone not in the room that contributed to this effort it is soouflg who has been very much involved.

>> commissioner. >> thank you for this presentation he like to recommend folks arts education is not a curriculum and that is that a vision for arts and i would advise us to look at especially what they're doing in new york city so thankful created a blueprint for music, you know theatre and arts and dance and dance music and theatre and visual arts and within everyone one of those there's a blueprint that's what it's all about we we talk about that it starts at pre k and grows as students grow so start with pre k and now continuing until the commencement of the achievement to students have a

foundation from which the aortas and i think what we're missing ♪ even though i feel this is a beginning we need to go deeper and what we expect the board of directors for i didn't get grade and 9th grade they've had history and music and all those things but the teachers the blueprints i think that is ridiculous so say we hold the school accountability one the bloopers first, we have not had that (clapping.) i want to say from new york city website our blips are giving the cities the opportunity to provide the artist teachers with the flexibility to create an

ininstructional plan built on honors the tradition and demonstrates growth in the - the scheme encourages the insurrection for media repertoire and styles providing the students with a acknowledge in and out of school we need the visual art to help the students with the arts and while nourishing the arts learn is a college and career learning enabling them for arts jobs and with the new york city and san francisco more importantly it offers lifetime enjoyment with the patrons of the arts we talk about the arts curriculum is no the about you, do what you want to do it is about interests in art as a core subjects so we have under every january are

theatre and dance and beneficiaries c through second eight grade and high school that is sequential to say offering every school had should be evaluated on the art ca hsa how can you do that i feel like we have creating from scratch we have a vision and i be many we founded on the vision, however, to get to the next and bottle foundation of it we need to have in blueprint so we can say a child that comes in and talks about vision 2025 when a child

is in kindergarten or prek by the time they leave the eight grade they have a launch opt deeper knowledge and that is true quality true we're topping talking about quantity and new york have done this they started this in 2005 and now refreshed it if 2015 they're light years ahead of us i'll encourage us to look at this oh, you can choose this but actually like what you think the arts curriculum showcase we define the art curriculum in our unified school district; right? that is fabulous not a curriculum i want to remind the folks we need to

give the teachers the resources to actually keep this curriculum so of course, create this i'll encourage you to look at what is happening in our schools it is fabulous and think like new york they fund their education at a higher level they have an abundance of arts and theoretical of theatre thank you very much >> mr. walton. >> thank you for your presentation i have just two quick questions and one comment one as we look at the master plan over the next few years and know we have district wide performances and see what the young people and students are doing do we have information in terms of who is participating and district wide performances

by neighborhoods and course if we can get that information to get a detailed look at it and secondly, we continue to move forward i know we talked about holding sites audible for their visions for the master plan i want to ask the from a leadership dr. stevens that are in charge of making sure we accomplish our goals. >> i share that with many people so we'll make sure we have more exciting curriculum opportunity (laughter). >> i'm looking forward to all of them and the last thing that i want to make a comment that is come up before in terms of how we decipherment information so that is equitable i know we're relying the language in spanish

and most of time in chinese but make sure that our communication is equitable across the board with each and outline parents thank you. >> (clapping.) commissioner mendoza-mcdonnell thank you being the last board member to say anything i'll try to keep media comments short but i wanted to piggyback on what the commissioner was saying this should be looked as core which is how we've described it we have been fortunate to have those dollars i oftentimes said to people our buthdz were about cut significantly we may not have you know math and we have arts because we are able to have that funding component was in place i guess my i have a lot of comments but my recommendations

as the committee continues to work targeted bringing something forward and glad we're refreshing this is a lot of expanding and supporting and i think you know we need and wanted to look at this definitely this is the first consideration of the tartar master plan and want to deeper dive into what it is our kids should be getting and having sequential work this happens so our kids can actually addiction they've gotten their portfolio and not because someone needs to get classes outside of school i think that is include some of the ways we framed what we want to say so i'll use i find this

in all the recommendations but take curriculum instruction and say insure that standards are driving and insist the arts are talk about the or consider articulation those are passive words we need to be clear by a what it is we want and not those are not suggestion but those are exceptions that we have for our schools if in fact, we're going to be talking about arts as being core otherwise, it sounds like this this is more you know things we can do what you have time and we're for the assessing this is something we want to do abused we have time we want to make an investment for the young people that is part of what they should be learning and what we should teach and exactly what we want to do going forward so thank you, everyone four thank

you for your time and we look forward to this. >> thank you thank you. >> all right. so (clapping.) i'm just about to - . >> (clapping.) >> >> yeah. yeah, i'm just going to thank the committee and close it down for public comment it is happening now so i have you may want to respond thank you to the committee you've heard huge champions and superintendent that is himself an artist and educators in the room that will themselves embrace the art i left us there that last slide was a challenge we're partners with you and there's more work to do and mr. stevens and move to public comment. >> my thanks for the audience to hang in there thank you to a couple of people the co-chairs
