Summary	"High quality professional development opportunities for educators are key elements in sustaining and growing arts education programs and keeping these programs relevant in the face of curriculum reforms. The purpose of this study was to compare differences in quality of and school-provided supports for professional development between U.S. music educators and teachers of other disciplines, particularly high-stakes disciplines like English Language Arts (ELA) and mathematics. A secondary purpose was to compare differences in mentorship quality of other school-provided supports for beginning U.S. music educators to teachers of other disciplines. Data were drawn from the 2011-2012 Schools and Staffing Survey restricted-use dataset conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics."--Page 3.
