Description
Arts Education Surveys of Elementary School Teachers, 2009 is a study that is part of the Quick Response Information System program; program data are available since 1998–99 at <https://nces.ed.gov/surveys/frss/downloads.asp>. FRSS 102 (https://nces.ed.gov/surveys/frss/) is a sample survey that provides national estimates on arts education and arts instructors in public elementary schools during the 2009–10 school year. The study was conducted using mailed questionnaires that could be completed via mail or the web. Follow-up telephone interviews were also conducted. Elementary school teachers were sampled. The response rate for each of the three surveys was 86.5 percent for the music specialist survey, 87.6 percent for the visual arts specialist survey, and 81.5 percent for the classroom teacher survey. Key statistics produced from FRSS 102 were data on the teaching load of music and visual arts specialists in elementary schools; teacher participation in various professional development activities; the ways in which self-contained classroom teachers teach arts education as part of their instructional program; and teachers’ use of formal methods of assessment of students’ achievement in the arts.
