for Arts in Education study.
Providing
programs that students will enjoy is only part of our Arts in
the Classroom goal. Our program is designed to enhance
curricular learning, develop a heightened appreciation of the arts
and the role the arts play in our society, and help build future
audiences for the arts. Research has shown that what students learn
in the arts may help them to master other subjects, such as reading,
math or social studies.
School administrators are encouraged to consult closely with
classroom teachers and with music, art, and drama specialists when
selecting programs that enrich curriculum offerings and augment
course study.
The concept of transfer, in which “learning in one context assists
learning in a different context,” has intrigued cognitive scientists
and education researchers for more than a century. The use of
dramatic enactment can make a measurable difference in helping
students reach such important curricular goals as story
understanding, reading comprehension and topical writing skills.
