Join NAEA Renew MembershipCritical Topics
See what scholars, NAEA leaders and friends of arts education are saying about critical topics facing the field. Then, share with us what's happening in your community. (You can submit responses to individual discussion prompts at the end of each section or you can host a discussion in your own community). Critical topics covered include:
The Intrinsic and Extrinsic Values for the Arts
Visions of Excellent Teaching
Infusing the Arts throughout Schools and Communities
Promoting the Arts
Other Ongoing Concerns
The views expressed here are those of the individual participants in the Aspen Summit, not those of the National Art Education Association. However, the approach of encouraging widespread dialogue and reflection on critical issues is an important part of how NAEA executes its mission.
