The Arts Help Students Become Problem Solvers
“At this time when you are making critical and far-reaching budget and program decisions….I write to bring to your attention the importance of the arts as a core academic subject and part of a complete education for all students. The Elementary and Secondary Education Act defines the arts as a core subject, and the arts play a significant role in children’s development and learning process. The arts can help students become tenacious, team-oriented problem solvers who are confident and able to think creatively.”
~ Arne Duncan, Secretary of Education, Letter to Schools and Community Leaders, 2009.
