The NEA will publish, as soon as is reasonably possible, the results of the 2009-2010 e-survey done by NEA Research studying “the changes in staffing, work conditions, and budgetary considerations for fine arts programs in the United States over the last three years.”
Moreover, NEA will assign a staff liaison to work with a Fine Arts Task Force appointed by President Van Roekel whose charge shall be to design and implement an arts advocacy campaign within the Association and communicated to our members in the NEA Today and other appropriate e-publications. The task force will also be charged to design/organize and communicate possible external arts advocacy tools that can be shared with state and local affiliates.
RATIONALE:
New Business Item 52 from the 2009 RA passed and directed that paragraph one be completed and it was not. Arts programs are hemorrhaging across the country. All students deserve the Arts.
Fine Arts Teachers E-Survey
NEA, through UniServ and local presidents and state and
national professional fine arts education associations, will
contact and conduct an e-survey of its fine arts teachers. The
purpose of this e-survey will be to identify changes in staffing,
work conditions, and budgetary considerations for fine arts
programs in districts over the past three years. NEA will report
the results of the e-survey through standard means available to
the NEA. (2009-52)
Completed
NEA Research conducted a survey sent to fine arts
education teachers via email. The survey information is
being analyzed and the resulting report will be available
through InsideNEA by June 2010.
