- The term priority standards refers to a subset of learning standards that educators have determined to be the highest priority or most important for students to learn. In most cases, priority standards are developed or selected at the school level by administrators and teachers. Priority standards are also called power standards in educational literature and research. Priority Standards:The power of Focus by Larry Ainsworth
- The terms learning objective/learning target are brief statements that describe what students will be expected to learn by the end of school year, course, unit, lesson, project, or class period. The learning targets are the more specific, commonly identified, elements that build to facilitate comprehension and mastery of the priority standards.
STATE GOAL 25: Know the language of the arts.
Through observation, discussion, interpretation and analysis, students learn the “language” of the arts. They learn to understand how others express ideas in dance, drama, music and visual art forms. In addition to acquiring knowledge essential to performance and production, students become arts consumers (e.g., attending live performances or movies, purchasing paintings or jewelry, or visiting museums) who understand the basic elements and principles underlying artworks and are able to critique them.

STATE GOAL 26: Through creating and performing, understand how works of art are produced.
Students acquire skills to produce and perform dance, drama, music and visual art. They learn to use media, tools and technologies. They learn to shape ideas and emotions into sounds, images and actions. As students create and perform their own artworks and review the works of others, they become more imaginative, strengthen their problem-solving skills and learn to respond to the creativity of others. Creating and performing are at the core of the fine arts. Students also learn about the role of the artist (e.g., dancer, painter, actor, director, scriptwriter, musician).
A. Understand processes, traditional tools and modern technologies used in the arts.
26.A.4e Visual Arts: Analyze and evaluate how tools/technologies and processes combine to convey meaning.
