Statewide Arts Education Programs
Arts, Care & Connection Program
Native Arts Program
The Oregon Department of Education is partnering with Arts for Learning Northwest to design an Arts, Care & Connection program, offering free K-5 arts integration lessons and professional learning for teachers. These lessons, designed by teaching artists from across Oregon, will create high quality arts and social emotional learning opportunities for elementary students during the school day, and will be available statewide in the 2024-2025 school year. This work is done in partnership with ODE’s Care and Connection campaign and will integrate and align to ODE's recently adopted Oregon’s Transformative SEL Framework & Standards.

The Well-Rounded Access Program is excited to announce a project to increase access to arts learning through culturally responsive lessons about contemporary and regional Native artists! This work aims to boost access to accurate, Tribal-specific arts content for Native and non-Native students through partnerships with federally recognized Tribes, Southern Oregon ESD, and the Jim Pepper Native Arts Council. They will develop lessons and professional development sessions integrating local Tribal cultural practices and the work of contemporary Native artists, incorporating the Oregon Arts Standards and the 9 Essential Understandings (developed for the Tribal History/Shared History (TH/SH) project).
