Rearranged MLR Documents- 4 Arts Disciplines
August 3, 2009YOU asked for it-YOU got it!
Since the Maine Learning Results have been revised in October 2007 there have been many comments about how much better they are since the 4 disciplines of the arts (dance, music, theatre, and visual arts) are separated for the first two standards. The document has been available with all five standards together for all 4 disciplines. Some educators have expressed how difficult it is to flip through and look only at their discipline.
Although, we know there are many connections between the disciplines, the document was created with Standards A: Discipline Literacy and Standard B: Creation, Performance, Expression separated because they are the two areas where the disciplines differ greatly. I am providing you with additional documents (.pdf and .rtf format) that are Standards A-E for each discipline so they are more user friendly for your individual discipline. You can find them on the Maine Department of Education Arts Education webpage. Please comment and let me know what you think.

Thank you so much, I know how much work that was. Breaking the MLR’s down will really help parents as well, again thanks!

Thanks for your comment Lisa! Actually, I didn’t do the work just found the person who could make it happen!
re the separated learning results.
Hey these are easier to use. I really liked the first page where it is very concise. ( the outline page.)
Glad to hear it Randy! Thanks!
I have been hoping that someone would create separate documents like this. I think these will be much easier to use!
I agree but will wait to hear back from you and others to see if they are really useful!
