Dr Jennifer Bryce

This report Is the major outcome of the project Evaluating the Key Competencies In the Arts conducted by the National Affiliation of Arts Educators (NAAE) and the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) on behalf of the Commonwealth Department of Employment and Education, Training and Youth Affairs (DEETYA). The report uses the voices of arts teachers to show how the key competencies may have a generic function across the five arts areas and to explain how the construct of 'competency' makes sense In the arts field.
