Newsweek Magazine “The Creativity Crisis” June 2010

The challenge now is to transform education systems into something better suited for the real needs of the 21st century. At the heart of this transformation there has to be a radically different view of human intelligence and of creativity.Sir Ken Robinson – Internationally recognized leader and author in the

Philosophical Foundations Lifelong Goals

The Arts as Communication

Artistically literate citizens use a variety of artistic media, symbols, and metaphors to independently create and perform work that expresses/conveys/communicates their own ideas, and are able to respond by analyzing and interpreting the artistic communications of others.

The Arts as Creative Personal Realization

Artistically literate citizens find at least one art form in which they develop sufficient competence to continue active involvement in that art form as an adult.

The Arts as Culture, History, and Connections

Artistically literate citizens know and understand artwork from varied historical periods and cultures, and actively seek and appreciate diverse forms and genres of artwork of enduring quality/significance. They also understand relationships among the arts, and cultivate habits of searching for and identifying patterns and relationships between the arts and other knowledge.

The Arts as a Means to Wellbeing

Artistically literate citizens find joy, inspiration, peace, intellectual stimulation, meaning, and other life-enhancing qualities through participation in all of the arts.

The Arts as Community Engagement

Artistically literate citizens seek artistic experiences and support the arts in their local community.

National Core Arts Standards: A Conceptual Framework for Arts Learning:

What motivates us…Increasing student engagement

Capitalizing on learning modalities

Focused on the “WHAT” that matters….those highly prized 21st century skills (creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, communication)

Cultivating the habits of mind that make kids life- long learners

Increasing access to ARTS for students through partnership between general education classroom teachers and certified arts teachers (arts integration) the partnership secures the attainment of the academic content + arts content. Deepens learning in multi subjects when done “right.”
