This presentation will focus on the LA County Arts Ed Collective’s Arts Education Profile, a research project measuring the quantity, quality and equity of arts instruction in in LA County public schools. The Arts Ed Collective surveyed all 2,277 schools to produce: a report that tells the story of the current state of arts education in LA County; an online tool that where anyone can look up open data about arts education provided by any school or district; and comprehensive reports for strategic arts planning in each district.
