Join Dr. Angela Henneberger, Research Director, Maryland Longitudinal Data System (MLDS) Center & UMSSW Research Assistant Professor, and Mr. Ross Goldstein, Executive Director, MLDS Center for the presentation Research Series Virtual Brown Bag. This forum brings together researchers, policy makers, and practitioners to discuss in-progress research on academic and workforce outcomes.
Under Maryland regulations (COMAR 13A.04.16.01), each local school system is required to provide a quality music/arts education that prepares students for post-secondary education and careers. In this project, we used MLDS data to conduct two studies examining the student, teacher, and school characteristics associated with public high school music education in Maryland and the post-secondary outcomes for music students. First, we explored the demographic composition of music students and music teachers, comparing their characteristics to non-music students and teachers and comparing post-secondary attendance between music students and non-music students. Second, we leveraged the elective nature of Arts courses in the highly prescriptive International Baccalaureate Diploma Program (IBDP) to compare (through a propensity score model) post-secondary admissions outcomes for IBDP students who did and did not elect arts education. This research was part of an Institute of Education Sciences-funded grant project exploring the relations between rigorous, high-quality arts education in high school and the successful transition to post-secondary schooling. Policy implications for music/arts education and the post-secondary transition in Maryland will be discussed.
Presenters: Dr. Ken Elpus & Mr. David Miller, MLDS Research Branch & University of Maryland College Park
