Summary: Where is arts education assessment now? Why is it important? How can we make it a priority on the national agenda? These questions and more are tackled by Brent Wilson, Dennie Palmer Wolf, Joan Boykoff Baron and thirteen other noted educators and policy makers in Measuring Up to the Challenge. Drawn from ACA's symposium on arts education assessment, this book takes a detailed look at current knowledge as a basis for assessment policy; describes arts education assessment currently being developed or implemented; and proposes policy directions. Measuring Up helps to define how the arts, and arts education, contribute to meeting the challenges posed by national educational reform and by the rapidly and profoundly changing demands of the work force.
