Arts Integration is not simply a way of teaching. It is the merging of content and the creative process, a unique way for students to engage in hands-on learning while still demonstrating skill gains in any subject.
We know that Arts Integration supports higher academic achievement and standardized test scores*. We know too, that the presence of the performing arts in public schools has dwindled in recent years. Less than 50% of national high school offer theater or dance curriculum. Elementary schools have even fewer opportunities at only 30%. Despite this trend, the performing arts have been shown to support literacy, reading comprehension, student engagement, student attendance, and ESL students**.
