NATIONAL MEDIA ARTS EDUCATION INITIATIVE

The Media Arts Committee of the National Coalition for Core Arts Standards wil soon be launching the NATIONAL MEDIA ARTS EDUCATION INITIATIVE in order to fully establish Media Arts Education in all US Schools.

Sign-on to this effort at the SUPPORT page in a public petition expressing your support! It is urgent that we demonstrate that it has broad-based public support, including: educators, parents, students, artists, citizens, businesses and media organizations.

VOLUNTEER - We need teachers and a broad community of support to move the educational system to support this important and exciting new arts discipline.

CALIFORNIA - FULL FORMAL ESTABLISHMENT OF MEDIA ARTS EDUCATION IN K12 SCHOOLS -

State Superintendent Tom Torlakson has committed to ensuring the explicit inclusion of Media Arts in the next visual and performing arts standards revision in 2017, along with a Framework.

THIS STEP HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED! SEE OUR NEWS REGARDING AB 37 - LEGISLATION for Standards and Framework. ALSO, SEE CONNECT PAGE WITH AB 37 DOCUMENTS. Standards were published in 2020 and the Framework launched in March, 2022.

NEXT STEPS THAT SHOULD FOLLOW THE STANDARDS AND FRAMEWORK:

- Establishment of a Media Arts credential for K-12 educators (or possibly supplemental credential)
- Inclusion in California Ed Code

STATE ADOPTIONS AND ADAPTATIONS OF MEDIA ARTS STANDARDS

- Media Arts Standards have been adopted by 26 states across the U.S.! We want to support these state motions in any way possible, and begin to form national connections.

MEDIA ARTS EDUCATION MEETINGS AND THE INAUGURAL MEDIA ARTS CONVENTION - We need to begin to meet in order to begin forming our community and educator organizations. This will give us a new understanding of the discipline, its possibilities, and the practices of educators and professionals across the community.

RESEARCH THE RESEARCH - we need to compile everything being organized around, and learned about "Media Arts", and "Media Arts Education" - research, investigations, examples, programs, schools, lessons, projects, software, hardware, innovations, potentials, etc. This is a dynamic, diverse, and fast growing area that will support our goal.
