“It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.” – Albert Einstein
Arts instruction increasingly is seen as an effective strategy for engaging students in complex thinking and problem-solving, while also boosting self-confidence and helping them learn other academic subjects.
Make a familiar connection with your students by incorporating the arts into your curriculum throughout the school year.
