Project Description: Since 1999, the South Carolina Arts Commission (SCAC) and the South Carolina Department of Education (SDE), and later the ABC Project have co-sponsored the Arts Education Research Project (AERP) to track arts education reform efforts in various ABC schools across the state. The specific purposes of this multi-year study are to (a) document the arts instruction in place prior to reform implementation, (b) determine the effects of increased, modified, or integrated arts instruction, and (c) identify potential influences that promote, inhibit, or sustain changes in schools that implemented arts reform.
