K-12 Arts Leadership

 

K-12 Arts Leadership is an essential part of every school district leadership team. The unique qualities of program scheduling, budgeting, event planning, curricular design and coordination between district and state entities demand a qualified arts leader that can support, guide and advocate for quality arts programming. 

There is an Arts Leadership model for any budget, any district side and any leadership team structure. The information below has been assembled collaboratively by several arts education entities in order to support districts and establish clear guidance on this important leadership role.
