Chicago Public Schools is launching a bold new plan that not only ensures every student across the District has access to arts education, but aims to strengthen the quality of instruction and opportunities. The CPS Arts Education Plan 2.0: Cultivating Creativity, builds on the extraordinary and intentional efforts of the District’s first plan from 2012 to expand access to the arts and sets out ambitious goals to achieve a standard of excellence across arts programming. This latest Arts Education Plan details the significant expansion of arts access over the past decade, and the next steps toward ensuring every student experiences transformative arts learning. It will also do something few other districts across the country have done, which is to build an innovative, data-driven model that can measure the quality of arts instruction across all CPS schools.  To learn more about the District’s Arts Education Department and Arts Education Plan 2.0: Cultivating Creativity, visit CPS’ website.
