Eric Jensen, of the Association of Supervision and Curriculum Development, highlights in his writings, ”Arts with the Brain in Mind”, the importance of arts….
- Children learn to become sustained, self directed learners
- Students connect to each other better – greater camaraderie, fewer fights, and reduced use of hurtful sarcasm.
- Performing arts change the environment to one of discovery, re-igniting the love of learning in general.
- Arts provide challenges for students at all levels and all can find their own level, automatically.
- Students are connected to the world of real work where theater and music have an appeal to a growing consumer public.
- Some students nor ordinarily reached in the classroom may be inspired in a new way.
