The student is at the centre. Students’ own

feelings, perceptions, ideas, and expressions matter immensely. It is critical that these are valued, explored, and celebrated within all art learning

experiences.

Arts Education Curriculum Update from Manitoba Education

Guidelines for Implementation/Reporting Schools have the flexibility to choose the number and combination of arts subjects appropriate to their local context, resources and needs. The number of arts subjects offered in a school and reported, will depend upon resources available, instructional time allocated, staffing, and the arts implementation model used in the school.

Arts Education Curriculum Update from Manitoba Education

Guidelines for Implementation/Reporting While all educators are encouraged to integrate arts learning outcomes across curricular areas where meaningful and appropriate, each arts framework is considered fully implemented only if all four essential learning areas for any one arts discipline are explored in comprehensive, substantial, and interconnected ways. Only fully implemented arts frameworks are reported.
