I am studying the state proposals of many states under the federal ESSA. Specifically my study would seek to define a successful and beneficial arts education plan. I will cultivate, with the help of professors and state legislators, a rubric for state proposed arts education plans and forecast which states will successfully increase art educations in their state. I will also explain and explore why arts education is important and why states should seek to have well-rounded educations for their students beyond the federal mandates.
