APS Visual Arts Program
NEW APS VISUAL ARTS SCOPE AND SEQUENCE - 2013
Download the current scope and sequence - to be used for all lesson and unit planning starting August 2013. The new Scope and Sequence aligns the GPS in the Fine and Performing Arts; CCGPS; SLO Assessments for each grade level and subject; Creativity Infusion Curriculum; Questioning Strategies for Higher Level Thinking; Cross-Curricular Learning; and the Critical Thinking in Music program. K-12 fine arts unit/lesson plan audits should reflect this comprehensive alignment and should include provisions for students with special needs and for students who are gifted/talented.
