Purposes, Principles and Standards for School Art Programs Revision Committee
This 33-page publication, last revised in 1999 with committee leadership provided by Bonnie Rushlow, is directed toward the promotion and recognition of educationally sound visual art programs in elementary, middle/junior, and high schools. It is designed as a self-assessment evaluation of seven art education program components: Organization, Curriculum, Personnel, Scheduling, Facilities, Materials/Equipment, and Budgets. Nomination form and self-assessment checklists for the Standards Award are included in the document for use by NAEA members.
A review of this publication by the ad-hoc Purposes, Principles, and Standards for School Art Programs Revision Committee is being undertaken during this academic year in anticipation of its design, production and release by NAEA publications during winter 2011. This initiative is a logical next step following the recent revision, update, and release of Standards for Art Teacher Preparation that identifies characteristics of high-quality programs for preparing arts educators along with its companion document, Professional Standards for Visual Arts Educators, that describes knowledge, skills, and attitudes art educators should possess to provide high-quality art instruction for all students.
The charge of this committee is to review the current publication (1) to ensure its' content is relevant in today’s environment and complements both recently revised standards documents, and (2) to bring forward a revised publication and other recommendations to the Board for counsel, action, and publication during the 2011 academic year.

NAEA Awards Program Review Committee
Specific information about the current awards programs can be found on the NAEA website at: http://www.arteducators.org/awards.
Occasional reviews of ongoing NAEA programs take place to ensure their currency. A review begun in late 2005 was delayed when it became necessary to identify a new NAEA Executive Director (Committee Report attached). Awards upgrades occurred this past year to raise the quality of recognition for those who receive NAEA national awards.
The charge of this committee is to thoroughly complete the 2005 review and to make recommendations to improve the Awards program through changes that: 1) clarify requirements and strengthen procedures 2) delete or modify categories that no longer remain viable for awards and (3) increase opportunities for recognition. The work of this committee will continue through this academic year. It is anticipated that suggestions brought forward by the committee will be recommended to the Board for counsel, action, and application during the 2011 awards cycle.
Members of the committee are:
