So have a nice day. I agree with Mark, I am currently working on a re-write of our districts music curriculum and find my focus leaning towards not just accepting this as a given but how do we transfer and synthesize these traits in meaningful ways to other content and necessary life skill areas to help inform better learning and future success. I am currently in production on a film called "School Jazz: The Art of Education". In addition to the new Facebook page I've just put up for the film at https: Definitely a work in progress, but making good progress.
The titles rendering got screwed up in conversion This seems to do the very job being addressed in this discussion: I will also need the help of everyone in the arts education community to get the film seen by School Boards and State Legislators in order to affect those most directly involved in funding decisions about arts curriculum.
Every Kid's Guide to Handling Feelings (Living Skills)
Feel free to contact me directly: Kyrl Henderson or kyrl kyrl. Thanks so much for your incredibly insightful entry! This is exactly what everyone needs to understand about the value of arts education. I'd like to support Lisa's response when referring to the argument of her book. As a Teaching Artist and researcher I have been studying "Risk" for a while in the search for answers on how arts education could be used to teach necessary skills that help build resilience in youth at risk.
One interesting finding was that several studies weren't able to provide evidence of how the arts developed or improved certain skills, but what was even more surprising to me is that the instructors weren't assessing the students for the skills but for the art form,they were never focused in teaching the skill, or evaluating the student for his performance of the skill in the first place.
I do believe arts education definitely helps develop and improve certain skills but I also believe it would be even more efficient if we are focused in using arts as vehicle to teach the skills and maybe, we could even provide evidence of it. I agree with Lisa. I've been a working artist and in arts education for years; and currently working with a group that offers in-depth professional development to teachers.
Our extensive programs include seasoned teaching artists in theatre, dance, and visual arts who mentor teachers in their classrooms. But, of course, the benefits of which are much greater. We've rigorously developed and refined methods for our data collection which measure teacher performance. Teacher clearly understands an authentic concept that is shared by two subjects, like the concept of character. Ultimately, this creates a richer, deeper, more personally relevant learning opportunity.
But teachers need training on how to create appropriate lesson plans that infuse arts concepts with science, math, literacy, etc. They also need to build their own skills within the arts disciplines i. Finally, teachers need to know how to accurately evaluate student work hint: Hence, one of our long-standing goals includes training regular classroom teachers to use the arts in and through their curriculum, given that the arts have been slashed in so many public schools. It is important to note there are several books that have been published which include documentation that clearly show why the arts in K education are vital.
I hope this information is helpful sorry so lengthy! I am currently in production on a documentary feature on why the arts is critical as a component in curriculum. It's called "School Jazz. The Art of Education" http: I would appreciate feedback on separating arts as a means to an end the above list and the "art for its own sake" position. The target of my film is School Boards and State Legislators who are making curriculum and funding decisions. The current political impasses and polarization could be symptomatic of a society that is afraid to experiment or make mistakes, and doesn't know how to collaborate or solve problems creatively.
Stuck in a feedback loop of self talk about what is "right" rather than working together to solve problems, that, if go unsolved, will be our demise. On the other side, each of the arts can stand on its own as having worth in and of itself. Truth be told, I have 2 goals. The other is to encourage creativity on the planet because I think the more we each connect with the creative force of the Universe that which causes cells to divide and multiply the better off the world will be.

Then there is art for arts sake. Without that we would not have art to mirror and comment upon our world. I wanted to respond to Mark's comment. My book, "The Artistic Edge: Many teachers either don't know how a specific arts activity teaches leadership skills or if they do, they don't make the choice to reinforce the skills. This is definitely a much more in depth discussion than a word blog post will allow. That is why I wrote a book: Lisa, when you said " it is only when instructors are intentional about teaching leadership skills through the arts do the skills develop at a high level", I was struck by how true this statement also is about the sciences and math.
As a society, we've decided science and math are important to learn, but I've seen many helpful and unhelpful ways of teaching those subjects as well. Good instruction in the sciences brings many aspects of creativity, innovation and inquiry into the teaching, just as in the arts.
If we expect higher values and skills to result, we must set that intention at the beginning. Incidentally, you can find said book here: The comment I am replying to is most likely spam.

I appreciate the well organized, cohesive structure of the benefits of arts in a child's education.
