Abstract:
This compendium examines the programs that were awarded three- year funding grants in 2001 to 2003 through the Arts in Education Model Development and Dissemination (AEMDD) program. The report intends to serve as a resource for school district leaders, educators, teaching artists and policymakers by to disseminating information on the various program methods and evaluation approaches employed by the arts-integrated programs. Arts integration has been proven time and time again to unleash student creativity and improvisational skills and close the widening achievement gaps in school communities. Findings from the Arts for Academic Achievement showed that students in the arts integrated setting made higher gains on the NALP reading test and disadvantaged learners were greater than for those not classified as disadvantage learners. The results of the surveys conducted show that the arts encouraged collaborative relationships, helped students and teachers learn new skills and created a positive learning environment for the school’s diverse student body.
