Welcome to Arts Education. Keep
Arts in Schools has released a new set of tools that enables advocates to voice their support. The resources also help educators
and organizations take effective steps toward ensuring every child gets the well rounded, quality education they deserve.
Meanwhile, a new book (second link), "Transforming Arts Teaching: The Role of Higher Education," examines innovations in arts
teacher training because, when well taught, the arts transform students and schools. The book argues that while the nature
of high quality teaching has received significant attention in recent years, little has been paid specifically to the role
of arts teachers. It follows that when arts teachers receive top notch preparation, they gain the capacity to make transformative
experiences possible for more students. When discussing arts education, it is important to remember that for students who
face barriers to fully engaging in school, the arts present the "languages" that reveal their abilities and potential, writes
Richard Deasy in The School Administrator. Still, for the arts to truly make this contribution, administrators and policymakers
need to understand the value of moving them from the margins to a more substantive role in the lifeblood of a school. Administrators
can draw confidence in this aim from a growing body of research that clarifies the nature of learning in the arts and the
intellectual, personal and social skills arts education nurtures. During the course of a three-year study, the Arts Education
Partnership looked at 10 high-poverty, high-performing schools. The seminal finding of that research is that arts education
created positive and empowering learning environments that emerged as the result of new relationships between and among students
and teachers.
