Approved Arts Massachusetts Curriculum Framework

At the Massachusetts Board of Elementary and Secondary Education meeting on June 25, 2019, Associate Commissioner Ron Noble, lead writer of the revised framework Craig Waterman, and Arts Content Support Lead Dawn Benski presented a summary of the revised framework, which resulted in approval.

Currently a copy editor is finalizing the official document, which will be posted on the DOE website when complete.  In the meantime, you can review the revised framework as submitted to the Board in late June for your planning purposes. MAEA has taken the proposed framework with tracked changes, and accepted them, creating this Word document. You will also find a PDF here.

If you have questions about the revised framework, please contact Dawn Benski, Arts Content Support Lead, Center for Instructional Support
