2007-2008 AEP Arts Education State Policy Database

Welcome to the 2007-08 AEP Arts Education State Policy Database! This searchable database contains the latest information on arts education state policies and practices. Since 1999, AEP has gathered these data through an annual survey of arts education personnel in state education agencies in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

The 2007-08 database provides state-by-state summaries of state policies and practices on the following eight policy topics:

  • Arts education mandate
  • Arts education state standards
  • Arts education assessment requirements
  • Arts requirements for high school graduation
  • Arts requirements for college admissions
  • Licensure requirements for non-arts teachers
  • Licensure requirements for arts teachers
  • Continuing education requirements for arts teachers

    Also, the database provides users with links they can follow to get additional information about each state. To learn more about a particular state, users are encouraged to visit the State Department of Education Website or contact, where available, the State Department of Education Contact Person.

    The 2007-08 AEP Arts Education State Policy Survey, which served as the primary source of information for the database, was conducted in Fall/Winter 2007. AEP is especially grateful to the arts education personnel in state education agencies, and in a few cases, in state arts agencies for responding to the survey. Thanks also to the State Education Agency Directors of Arts Education (SEADAE) and the National Assembly of State Arts Agencies (NASAA) for their assistance in identifying state contact persons. As a result of their combined efforts, AEP is able to provide updated information on all 50 states and D.C.

    Additionally, AEP appreciates the significant contribution of Kathy Beachler, former AEP Associate for Communications and Partnership Development, to all aspects of the survey and database.
