Here are several sample documents to help you with the 16 Criteria documentation
In order to create a more secure location to upload program and student information, we moved away from Google folders. Schools will now upload their documents in a Microsoft TEAMS folder.
If you have not requested access to your digital folders, please contact your specialist - documentation is due October 1, 2024.
Remember:
- Current data should be used for Criteria 1, 3, 4, 9, 11, 14
- Current and/or previous year data may be used for Criteria 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 13, 15, 16
Students who attend Alternative Education schools often require specific educational interventions. Artists in residence can help these students build new skills and develop healthy methods of creative self-expression through classes like creative writing, painting, photography, music, and theatre. Previous participating schools report that artist-in-residence visits result in increased attendance and higher graduation rates, among other positive student outcomes.
Arts education can play an important role in improving academic performance in Oklahoma. Studies show that students who have four years of high school arts education score higher on college entrance exams than students with little or no arts education. Arts education often improves performance in math and science, increases school attendance, promotes civic engagement, and decreases anti-social behavior. In addition, arts education supports the development of the whole child, builds skills, and offers students positive methods of creative self-expression.
