The nationally recognized Michigan Arts Education Instruction and Assessment (MAEIA) project has been designed to offer a full suite of resources and tools necessary to develop program quality, and support teacher quality, resulting in increased access and achievement in the arts for students.

Growth information from authentic, complex assessments that engage students in the creative process is defensibly reflected in educator evaluation plans.
