Download a PDF of the FY19-20 Biennial Report The arts everywhere every day for everyone in Indiana. Biennial Report Fiscal Years 2019–2020 We value you. To create equitable access to the arts for all Indiana residents, the Indiana Arts Commission is committed to intentional and ongoing engagement with all communities in our state. We will listen, engage, and incorporate diverse people and perspectives into all policies, programs, and services. Being consistently mindful and inclusive of the needs, ideas, and cultural history of the people who call Indiana home, we value and embrace their artistic expression and support them as they advance the arts that reflect their values and traditions. We believe in embracing diversity, championing inclusion, practicing equity, and embodying both the geographic and cultural variety that form the fabric of Indiana. What we do. We positively impact the cultural, economic and educational climate of Indiana by providing responsible leadership for and public stewardship of artistic resources for all of our state's citizens and communities. A look to the future. Good government starts with access for all citizens. The last two years have been exemplary for the Indiana Arts Commission as the agency has advanced its opportunities for artists, arts providing organizations and communities, and has helped our arts assets prosper, endure and ultimately pivot to engage and serve our citizens during an unprecedented pandemic. The demand for Arts Commission services has never been greater, with a record number of applicants to our granting programs and record participation in our education services. This helps our arts assets advance their abilities to produce public value by engaging with everyone, every day, everywhere in our state. The Commission recently adopted a cultural equity statement which will serve as a springboard for advancing our ability to assure access for everyone, regardless of what community they might identify with or where they live. Our state’s rich fabric is strengthened by the cultures, ethnicity, races, colors, identities and variety of our people. The Commission will continue to intentionally break down barriers and provide enhanced opportunities so everyone can have the benefit from the arts in their personal lives and celebrate and communicate their uniqueness. The arts are essential and central to our state being a welcoming place to live, work, and play. We are all life-long learners, and we want to both attract and retain citizens, giving them opportunities to grow and prosper economically and personally. There is no quality of life without the arts and creativity, as these provide both the fuel and the connectivity that our residents value: community, family, safety and health, opportunity and prosperity. We invite you to look inside this report and see how the arts are changing your state for the better. We look forward, with you, to a vital Indiana with the arts at its heart.

  • Lessons, Answer Keys, Student Scoring Sheets, and a Survey of the Scientifically- Based Reading Research That Is Foundational to ITRI
    Grade 4 Teacher Guide Developed by the Center for Innovation in Assessment in conjunction with the Indiana Department of Education What’s In This Booklet The Informational Text Reading Inventory (ITRI) was created when the Center for Innovation in Assessment (CIA) observed that students in grade four experience a significant drop in performance in all of their subject areas. CIA researched solutions and identified the critical issue as the students' struggle to apply the reading skills they have learned in earlier grades to their expository textbooks. In grade four, students are expected to read to learn at a far greater extent than in earlier grades. ITRI materials teach students the reading skills they need to understand their content area textbooks. This booklet contains all the information teachers need to use the ITRI materials, including assessments, lessons, answer keys, student scoring sheets, and a survey of the scientifically- based reading research that is foundational to ITRI. Because all ITRI content comes from Indiana's Academic Standards for grade four science, social studies, and English/language arts (E/LA), ITRI materials will enhance the subject matter teachers already teach. Students will always learn the reading skills within the context of their content area curriculum. For a detailed list of all items, please go to the Table of Contents on page iii.
