The Plan

To address the very issues raised by the Arts Education Partnership, the Music for All Foundation (MFA), working in partnership with the NJ State Council on the Arts (NJSCA, the New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE), and the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation, and building on the previous body of work developed through the Mapping Project, carried out by the NJSCA from 1996-98, proposes the creation of the 2006 Arts Education Census Project and the New Jersey State Arts Education Research Center.

The Arts Education Census Project proposes to gather, evaluate and disseminate qualitative and quantitative data regarding arts education in the state of New Jersey. This project is designed to build on the body of work created by the earlier Mapping Project with the goal of documenting arts education in every school in the state, combining the findings with other information to create a 360 degree view of arts education, broadly disseminating the results of the survey through new and emerging technologies, creating a model that may be deployed in other states and developing an ongoing system to update and maintain the Arts Education Census program into the future.
