The Statewide Data Infrastructure Project for Arts Education is a collaborative effort of the National Endowment for the Arts and the Education Commission of the States to help states collect, analyze and report on data about school based arts instruction. To that end, the project has published a paper offering guidance on developing arts education metrics based on data many states already collect. The paper, Using State Data Systems to Report Information on Arts Education, also discusses additional ways state leaders can support efforts to understand the reach and impact of arts learning.
