The Arts Education Team at the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction has compiled all relevant information pertaining to scheduling courses in K-12 Dance, Music, Theatre Arts, and Visual Arts into this document to provide clarity around the unique proficiency-based Standard Course of Study in the Arts.

This document aims to provide teachers of all content areas with an understanding of how current domains of instructional practice found within the content areas align with the LIS. Since the alignment between the LIS and instructional practices in various content areas exists, all educators, regardless of their discipline, participate in literacy instruction.
Teachers should reference this document when planning content area and literacy instruction to ensure students are fully meeting the demands of the NCSCOS.

This year, we are “Putting the Pieces Together” at the NCMEA Professional Development Conference! Yes, we are referring to putting actual pieces of music together for performance and to putting together the pedagogical building blocks we collect from experts and peers to use in the classroom. But most importantly, we are referring to every music educator’s contribution as a piece of the puzzle that makes our community complete! No matter who, what, or where we teach, we each have a unique fit that together creates a beautiful whole, and we look forward to celebrating all of the outstanding music educators in our state.
NCMEA invites session proposals to be submitted for consideration for the 2024 NCMEA Professional Development Conference in Winston-Salem, NC on November 9-12, 2024. We invite proposals that cultivate a vision of music education that is inclusive, collaborative, and expansive, keeping in mind the ideals set forth by NCMEA’s strategic framework.
The deadline for submission is March 1, 2024 at 11:59pm EST.
