What is Inclusive Participation?

What is Inclusive participation? This report explains the Creative Learning Initiative’s new measures that evaluate visual and performing arts participation at all secondary schools. As a district, we are invested in moving toward truly equitable, inclusive visual and performing arts participation where student group membership and the school attended does not predict arts participation. However, because we know that is not currently the case, we will continue to monitor these metrics and anticipate visual and performing arts participation becoming more equitable for all students.
