CRITICAL EVIDENCE: HOW THE ARTS BENEFIT STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT

Why is it important to keep the arts strong in our schools? How does the study of the arts contribute to student achievement and success? Critical Evidence: How the Arts Benefit Student Achievement is designed to answer those questions. It describes in non-technical terms what the research says about how the study of the arts contributes to student success. This publication serves as an update to the 1995 publication Eloquent Evidence: Arts at the Core of Learning, and "makes the case" for the arts based on sound educational research. Eleven years later, the evidence is even more eloquent, and the need to demonstrate the link between the arts and student achievement is even more critical. 2006, 20 pages.
