Board reviews K–12 mastery standards for art, library, music and PE
Summary
Staff reviewed proposed K–12 mastery standards for arts and specialty areas, explaining alignment to state and national standards and department-specific differences in the number of mastery standards (for example, five for semester-length art courses versus ten for other grade bands).
Staff members addressed as Jenny and Morgan reviewed the district's K–12 mastery standards for art, library, music and physical education. Jenny explained the departments "are aligned to those national core standards" and noted art has five identified mastery standards for the semester-length courses while other specialty areas use a set of ten standards across grade bands.
Morgan described how music standards are organized by grade band and ensemble level, and how physical education uses national "SHAPE" standards with separate grade bands and specialized high school pathways. Board members asked whether this was the final round of review; staff said this was the last round before formal action.
