In April 2019, the Missouri State Board of Education authorized Missouri Learning Standards for Fine Arts. MAAE allies are encouraged to visit the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education fine arts website to view or print the standards https://dese.mo.gov/college-career-readiness/curriculum/fine-arts.
In addition, MAAE members are also encouraged to contact the DESE Arts Education Director to arrange training about the new learning standards. These workshop can be for a member’s school or one-on-one.
