Arts Integration

• There is a growing body of evidence that supports
  the power and value of the arts in education. But
  we should also look at the contributions of the
  arts to school reform. The arts-integrated school
  could advance the effort to raise the standards,
  expectations, and levels of performance of our
  students. Indeed, education in and through the
  arts may be one of the best ways to make progress
  toward the national education goals and other,
  more sophisticated goals of reformers.

Learning at DePaul University
