Quality is crucial to having arts education pay off for children, and Creating Quality, recently launched by The Wallace Foundation and Big Thought, provides information, tools and other resources to evaluate and improve the quality of arts education and creative learning in schools, afterschool programs and summer learning opportunities.
Based on a quality improvement process developed and pioneered by Big Thought, one of the nation's leading institutions working to deliver arts education to children, the Creating Quality website is built for educators, artists, community leaders, and policymakers. It houses resources to engage stakeholders, define quality teaching and learning, assess the quality of programming and improve education for all children.
The site provides a one-stop-shop for information and tools necessary to conduct program evaluations and advocate for quality teaching and learning. At the same time, the site's interactive features allow participants to contribute their own ideas and share their experiences in improving quality.
