There is a pressing need for investment in networks to support better communications of humanities, arts and social sciences research and knowledge. Professor Linda Rosenman, CHASS President
On September 28 the Ministerial Council for Education, Early Childhood Development and Youth Affairs (MCEECDYA) outlined the purpose, roles, activities, governance arrangements and budget for a new national education body whose activities will be framed around standards and professional learning.
Art Education Australia (AEA) is a member association of the National Advocates for Arts Education (NAAE). Marian Strong is the AEA representative on the NAAE and has been invited by the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA) to be a member of the initial reference group for the development of Arts curriculum. Each member association of the NAAE is sending out the following information:
The NAAE 'Update September 2009' paper (Draft - under consultation) is shared here for comments and discussion.
The paper provides a background to the NAAE organisations' work over the past year to this point and the section 'Recommendations for arts learning in the national curriculum' is the result of much debate and consultation, including several meetings with the Australian Primary Principals Association (APPA).
NAAE was advised to follow the terminology of the Melbourne Declaration as an 'enabling' document and NAAE's views on the division of 'The arts' into 'performing and visual' remain under consideration."
Please disseminate this paper to members of your state and territory associations and other interested networks and colleagues for comment and discussion.
Recommendations for the Arts in the National Curriculum
Your attention is drawn to page 4’s Recommendations, especially Recommendation (a) as MINIMUM.
An alternative position has been suggested to drop the Melbourne Declaration qualifier (Visual and Performing), and simply maintain ‘The Arts’, with schools selecting any 2 of the 5 artforms listed, as the MINIMUM requirement.
Marian Strong's position on behalf of AEA and supported unanimously by the AEA AGM on 21st September, is for AEA to endorse NAAE Recommendation (a).
All art teachers, networks and associations are encouraged to send feedback on this position, the full set of Recommendations and on the paper as a whole, prior to the next ACARA Reference Group Meeting, scheduled for 13 October.
