Document Number: 10181Arts Education In Public Elementary and Secondary Schools: 1999-2000 and 2009-10 - This study examines many of the same issues from two previous studies, including the extent to which students received instruction in the arts; the facilities and resources available for arts education instruction; and the
preparation, work environments, and instructional practices of music and visual arts specialists and non-arts classroom teachers. This study also addresses emerging issues such
as the availability of curriculum-based arts education activities outside of regular school hours and the presence
of school-community partnerships in the arts. In addition, the current study provides broader coverage of arts education instructors by including two new surveys for secondary music and visual arts specialists.
