Contains a link to a document on implementing common core state standards.

The National Coalition for Core Arts Standards (NCCAS) has writing teams who are revising the national standards in the four arts disciplines: dance, music, theatre, and visual art. They are also creating standards for a fifth discipline, media arts. The writers of the National Music Standards are utilizing the Common Core State Standards as a model for their work.

NCCAS is the coalition of national arts and education organizations and media arts representatives that are developing the 2014 National Core Arts Standards. The new, voluntary grade-by-grade web-based standards are intended to affirm the place of arts education in a balanced core curriculum, support the 21st-century needs of students and teachers, and help ensure that all students are college and career ready.
