Exploring the Intersection of Arts Education and Literacy

“Musical literacy”—do you have some thoughts about what that means? Would you like to be in exchange with colleagues from other art forms about artistic literacies? Over the last year, the Arts Education Partnership has explored intersections of arts education and literacies. Traditionally, literacy has been defined as the ability to read and write text, but AEP wanted to include the different ways people make meaning, beyond just reading and writing. They have created an evolving resource for arts educators, a place to share and explore what literacy can mean at the intersection of arts and education.
