The Portrait of a Graduate identifies seven competencies that North Carolina students should possess upon graduation from high school to help them thrive in the 21st century. (Adaptability, Collaboration, Communication, Critical Thinking, Empathy, Learner's Mindset, Personal Responsibility) We know that the Arts teach these areas more holistically than any other subject area. Join us for a exploratory webinar about how this portrait can be leveraged to communicate the importance of Arts Education in NC schools.

International Education Week (IEW) is an opportunity to celebrate the benefits of international education and exchange worldwide. International Education Week offers the chance to expand awareness of and interest in global education, and to gain a new cultural understanding by sampling a small part of life beyond the shores of America. A variety of IEW activities are being planned by NCDPI to promote International Education Week in North Carolina.
 The NCDPI Global Steering Committee has released a call for the International Education Week (IEW) Student Showcase, which includes in-person and virtual submissions and provides a great opportunity to highlight performing and visual arts programs who are helping students to build global competency through the works they create and perform. Video submissions of student work will be on virtual display at The North Carolina Department of Public Instruction and shared through our social media channels and groups wishing to come perform in-person will be invited to do so in the lobby of DPI or on Halifax lawn throughout IEW week depending on the group size and space required. For additional information please read our call or reach out to Laura Stauderman at Laura.Stauderman@dpi.nc.gov

North Carolina's Vision for Comprehensive Arts Education
In today's globally competitive world, innovative thinking and creativity are essential for all school children. High quality, standards-based instruction in the arts develops these skills and effectively engages, retains, and prepares future-ready students for graduation and success in an entrepreneurial economy. Dance, music, theatre arts, and visual arts, taught by licensed arts educators and integrated throughout the curriculum, are critical to North Carolina's 21st century education. (Senate Bill 66: Comprehensive Arts Education Task Force, 2010)
