Strengthening Data Systems: Access

Continue Creative Schools Certification data collection, improve support for school arts liaisons, collect better data from partners, and share clear reports on arts programs. This matters because good data leads to smarter decisions and more access to quality arts for all students.

Strategies

  1. Continue support to Arts Liaisons to collect data, organize resources, and identify opportunities to increase arts education in their school.
  2. Incentivize arts partners to regularly update their data in artlook® by linking data submission to visibility within tools like the Creative Schools Fund, the Arts Partner Standards of Practice designation, or the CPS RFQ.
  3. Expand the data collected from partners to include metrics such as number of students served, grade levels, program types, school sites, and program outcomes—while minimizing administrative burden.
  4. Develop Creative Partners Roadmaps, an annual customized report of the organization-level offerings, reach, programs, and support for pursuing quality through the lens of the Arts Partner Standards of Practice.
