Summary:
This is a .pdf research bulletin from the Arts Education Partnership (AEP) which can be downloaded for free from this web site.
Every young person in America deserves a complete and competitive education that includes the arts. America’s global stature, culture of innovation, and entrepreneurial spirit depend on the strength of a world-class education system. Perhaps now more than ever—as the country becomes increasingly diverse, the world more interconnected, and the workplace more oriented around technology and creativity— arts education is key to such a system and to ensuring students’ success in school, work, and life.
For this reason, the Arts Education Partnership (AEP) created ArtsEdSearch.org —the nation’s first clearinghouse of research examining the mounting body of evidence on the benefits of an arts education. Drawing on the research in ArtsEdSearch, this bulletin offers a snapshot of how the arts support achievement in school, bolster skills demanded of a 21st century workforce, and enrich the lives of young people and communities.
