SEPT 2017
ESSA creates
flexibility allowing
states and
schools to more
fully explore and
leverage the arts in
K-12 teaching and
learning.
Research
indicates that
deeper learning
skills contribute
significantly
to a student’s
college, career
and citizenship
readiness.
Thirty years ago, in response to a K-12
public education system defined by
mediocrity1, with low student test scores
and widening gaps in achievement, the
accountability movement was born.
Federal and state education policies
focused on raising standards and
regularly assessing students. However,
over the years, many policymakers
and the public observed a connection
between the accountability movement
and an overemphasis on testing in
core subjects, such as English and
math, a narrowing of curricula and the
elimination of many important subjects,
including the arts.
Arts education
fosters critical deeper
learning skills, such
as collaboration and
perseverance, in
students.
Yet, research consistently shows that
arts education and the integration of
the arts into core subjects can have
dramatic effects on student success
— defined not just by student test
scores, but also critical skills, such as
creativity, teamwork and perseverance.
Research indicates that these skills
can be as effective predictors of long-
term success in college, careers and
citizenship as test scores.2,3
The Every Student Succeeds Act
(ESSA), which passed in late 2015, is
the first major federal law in more than
30 years offering states a significant
degree of flexibility to broaden —
rather than narrow — curricula, and
strongly encourages states to ensure all
students have access to a well-rounded
education, which includes the arts
and music.4 Armed with the evidence
presented in this report highlighting
the impressive effects education in and
through the arts can have on student

success, state policymakers have an opportunity and
incentive to take advantage of the flexibility awarded
under ESSA related to the arts.
“Despite [deeper learning] skills’
central roles in our education and,
more broadly, our lives, education
policy has tended to overlook their
importance.”5
Bolstering Deeper
Learning Through Arts in
Education
Deeper Learning
The arts — including dance, music, theatre, media arts
and visual arts — bolster the development of what are
commonly referred to as deeper learning skills. Deeper
learning is an umbrella term defining the skills and
knowledge students need to attain success in college,
career and citizenship. Students that possess deeper
learning skills6:
1. Master core academic content.
2. Think critically and solve complex problems.
3. Work collaboratively.
4. Communicate effectively.
5. Learn how to learn.
6. Develop academic mindsets.
Unique instructional strategies play a necessary role in
facilitating deeper learning skills, such as project-based
learning, individual learning plans, and performance-
based assessments and portfolios.7 Arts education
frequently utilizes strategies such as these, thereby further
supporting the development of deeper learning skills.
Some critics argued that many policy agendas wrongly
focused on a “cognitive hypothesis” that favors a small
set of cognitive skills, thereby neglecting the potential
impact of deeper learning skills.8,9 Yet, deeper learning
skills play an essential role in student success, with
countless research studies showing that skills, such as
self-discipline and collaboration, significantly affect
K-12 student achievement. In a longitudinal study of 140
eighth-grade students, self-discipline predicted final
grades, school attendance, standardized test scores and
selection into a competitive high school program the
following spring.10 Similarly, in a meta-analysis of more
than 200 in-school interventions to enhance social and
emotional skills, researchers found an estimated gain in
academic performance equivalent to 11 percentage points
for all assessed students in grades K-12.11
In many instances, the critical time when students
should utilize well-established deeper learning skills is
during the transition from high school to college or to
the workforce. Research suggests that one of the major
reasons students struggle in college is that they are ill-
prepared to participate in classes requiring them to work
with others on complex problem solving, draw inferences
and be independent, self-reliant learners who recognize
when they are struggling and know how to seek help.12
Fewer than two-thirds of students who entered four-
year colleges in 2009 seeking a bachelor’s degree
received their degree six years later.13 Similarly, when the
National Association of Colleges and Employers asked
employers what skills they prioritize when recruiting,
they unequivocally listed ability to work well on teams,
decisive problem solving and effective communication —
each an example of a deeper learning skill.14

Arts and Student Success
Arts-based instruction is unique in that it has been shown
to not only directly affect students’ academic success,
but also indirectly does so by improving deeper learning
skills. The effects can be particularly significant for at-risk
populations, including low-income and English language
learners (ELLs).15,16
Arts in education is most effective when integrated into
other academic subjects in a process known as integrated
J Understanding human experiences, both past and present.
J Teamwork and collaboration.
J Creatively making decisions and solving problems when no
prescribed answers exist.
J Adapting to and respecting others’ diverse ways of thinking,
working and expressing themselves.
J Understanding the influence of the arts and their power to
create and reflect cultures.
J Analyzing nonverbal communication and making informed
judgments.
J Communicating effectively.19
Arts in education benefits both students and society, because
students of the arts disciplines gain

arts learning. Integrated arts learning is defined as “an
approach to teaching and learning in which students
engage in a creative process that connects an art form
with another subject to promote deeper learning in
both.”17 The intended outcome is not only for the student
to become proficient in the art, but also to support the
student’s understanding of a core subject. For example,
drama can provide an ELL student with a unique
opportunity to learn vocabulary or experiment with the
different communication styles of the English language.18

Expanding Arts in
Education Programs
As state education leaders begin to refocus their efforts
on providing K-12 students with a well-rounded education
that includes the arts, existing initiatives can serve as
promising examples. Innovative leaders across the
country are exploring arts-based programs for students
to keep them engaged and to foster deeper learning
skills. The following programs successfully increased
access to the arts in education in public schools. Schools,
districts and communities initiated the programs and it is
districts, foundations and community organizations that
often provide funding through a cooperative effort.
District-Led Initiatives
Boston Public Schools Arts Expansion Initiative
In 2008, the Boston Public Schools Arts Expansion Initiative
launched with the goal of ensuring all pre-K-8 students
receive once weekly, yearlong arts instruction and providing
access to targeted arts programs for high school students.
As of 2016, a total of 17,000 additional pre-k-12 students
experienced arts during the school day with 94 percent
of pre-k-8 students receiving weekly instruction.29 A true
public-private partnership, program funding is provided by
foundation supports, a significant investment by the local
school district and local community groups, including the
mayor’s office.30 Unique to most other programs, is the
district’s substantial $11 million investment.31
Seattle Public Schools Creative Advantage
In 2013, Seattle Public Schools launched the Creative
Advantage initiative to increase access to high-quality
arts education for all students in response to finding that
40 percent of public school K-3 students in the district
received no arts instruction and that a student’s race
and ethnicity, and/or ELL and Free and Reduced Lunch
status was predictive of arts access. The program began
serving schools with the greatest need and expands
its services across the district each year. From 2013-15,
the largest investment came directly from the district —
$1.4 million towards certified arts teachers, professional
development, materials and arts assessments.32 This
past school year, teachers began administering the 21st
Century Arts Common Assessments that intentionally
teach and assess 21st century skills. The program has
already boasted positive results by increasing the number
of students demonstrating 21st century skills and access
to trained art teachers.33
School-Wide Initiatives
A+ Schools Program
Established in 1995, the A+ Schools Program began in
North Carolina. To date, North Carolina boasts 46 schools
as part of the A+ Schools Program, a whole-school reform
model that views the arts as fundamental to teaching and
learning in all subjects.34 Program approaches include: 1)
Arts integration — bringing together arts and non-arts
objectives to create hands-on, experiential, connected
and meaningful learning experiences, 2) Arts education
— developing an understanding and comfort in the
elements, principles, history, processes and works of each
art form, and 3) Arts exposure — creating opportunities
for students and staff to experience artistic works,
performances and careers both in the school and in the
community.35 An evaluation of Oklahoma’s program,
another state utilizing the A+ Schools Program, found
that the program increases student achievement and
boosts attendance and decreases discipline problems.36,37
A+ Schools Program also works with pilot sites across the
country to continue to expand.
Community-Led Initiatives
School of Arts and Culture at the Mexican Heritage Plaza
The School of Arts and Culture at the Mexican Heritage
Plaza in San Jose, California brings the benefits of arts into
a disadvantaged community. The Plaza offers arts-based
programs, such as dance, painting, music and leadership
trainings, ensuring children can access unique and culturally-
relevant learning opportunities. The Plaza’s goal is to
“narrow the opportunity gap in arts education and learning,
nurture the joy, creativity and well-being of our children

and unleash the talent of our next generation of students,
leaders, artists and consumers of culture.”38 Schools and the
local community have open access to the facilities.
Policy Considerations
ESSA creates new momentum behind subjects like the
arts by encouraging states to ensure all students have
access to a well-rounded education. This represents an
acknowledgment that students require skills that reach far
beyond what they can achieve in an English or math class.
Education Commission of the States’ report, ESSA:
Mapping opportunities for the arts, provides seven
unique ways states and districts can engage arts in the
ongoing work of ESSA. The Arts Education Partnership
also presents critical strategies states and districts can
consider to meet its 2020 Action Agenda for Advancing
the Arts in Education. This report provides evidence
that arts education is a worthwhile investment that can
support meaningful and long-term student success.
Small policy changes and local investments in arts
education can lead to meaningful effects for students. To
begin with, state and local education leaders can use the
following policy considerations to better identify areas
for expansion based on what works in their unique policy
landscape. Examples include offering arts integration
strategies in existing teacher and school leader
professional development, creating a pilot program to
expand access to the arts in high-need districts before
expanding statewide, or requiring schools to report
arts-related data on accountability report cards prior to
including it as an indicator for school ratings.
Select Considerations for
Policymakers
State-Level:
J Create a task force consisting of department of
education staff and local arts education stakeholders
to create an arts education plan for public school.
J Include arts in high school graduation requirements.
J Include in ESSA state plans.39
➡ Address access and participation rates in arts
education as part of state accountability and/or
reporting systems.
➡ Address the arts as part of a well-rounded education.
➡ Include arts education within after-school 21st
century community learning center programs.
J Revisit the state accountability system.
➡ Include arts assessments in the state accountability
system.
➡ Consider competency-based models for learning and
assessment.
J Provide targeted professional development for
educators.
J Incorporate the arts as an essential component of all
educator workforce development programs.40
J Incorporate learning in the arts as part of a
comprehensive definition of college, career and
citizenship readiness.
Local Level:
J Engage and build relationships with key arts and
education stakeholders invested in education
improvement.41
➡ Seek out foundation and community organization
funding opportunities and engage them in public/
private partnerships.
➡ Provide targeted professional development for
educators including arts integration strategies.
➡ Encourage leaders to: (1) establish a school-wide
commitment to arts learning; (2) create an arts-rich
learning environment; and/or (3) revisit the use of
time/resources.42

  • 1. www.AEP-Arts.org | @AEP_Arts EDUCATION TRENDS www.ecs.org | @EdCommission TUNE IN. Explore emerging education developments. SEPT 2017 ESSA creates flexibility allowing states and schools to more fully explore and leverage the arts in K-12 teaching and learning. Research indicates that deeper learning skills contribute significantly to a student’s college, career and citizenship readiness. Thirty years ago, in response to a K-12 public education system defined by
  • 2. mediocrity1, with low student test scores and widening gaps in achievement, the accountability movement was born. Federal and state education policies focused on raising standards and regularly assessing students. However, over the years, many policymakers and the public observed a connection between the accountability movement and an overemphasis on testing in core subjects, such as English and math, a narrowing of curricula and the elimination of many important subjects, including the arts. Arts education fosters critical deeper learning skills, such as collaboration and perseverance, in students. Yet, research consistently shows that arts education and the integration of the arts into core subjects can have dramatic effects on student success — defined not just by student test scores, but also critical skills, such as creativity, teamwork and perseverance. Research indicates that these skills can be as effective predictors of long- term success in college, careers and citizenship as test scores.2,3
  • 3. The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), which passed in late 2015, is the first major federal law in more than 30 years offering states a significant degree of flexibility to broaden — rather than narrow — curricula, and strongly encourages states to ensure all students have access to a well-rounded education, which includes the arts and music.4 Armed with the evidence presented in this report highlighting the impressive effects education in and through the arts can have on student Beyond the Core: Advancing student success through the arts EMILY WORKMAN EDUCATION TRENDS www.AEP-Arts.org | @AEP_Arts 2 EDUCATION TRENDS www.ecs.org | @EdCommission success, state policymakers have an opportunity and incentive to take advantage of the flexibility awarded under ESSA related to the arts. “Despite [deeper learning] skills’ central roles in our education and, more broadly, our lives, education

Deeper learning is an umbrella term defining the skills and knowledge students need to attain success in college, career and citizenship. Students that possess deeper learning skills6: 1. Master core academic content. 2. Think critically and solve complex problems. 3. Work collaboratively. 4. Communicate effectively. 5. Learn how to learn. 6. Develop academic mindsets. Unique instructional strategies play a necessary role in facilitating deeper learning skills, such as project-based learning, individual learning plans, and performance- based assessments and portfolios.7 Arts education frequently utilizes strategies such as these, thereby further supporting the development of deeper learning skills. Some critics argued that many policy agendas wrongly focused on a “cognitive hypothesis” that favors a small set of cognitive skills, thereby neglecting the potential
  • 5. impact of deeper learning skills.8,9 Yet, deeper learning skills play an essential role in student success, with countless research studies showing that skills, such as self-discipline and collaboration, significantly affect K-12 student achievement. In a longitudinal study of 140 eighth-grade students, self-discipline predicted final grades, school attendance, standardized test scores and selection into a competitive high school program the following spring.10 Similarly, in a meta-analysis of more than 200 in-school interventions to enhance social and emotional skills, researchers found an estimated gain in academic performance equivalent to 11 percentage points for all assessed students in grades K-12.11 In many instances, the critical time when students should utilize well-established deeper learning skills is during the transition from high school to college or to the workforce. Research suggests that one of the major reasons students struggle in college is that they are ill- prepared to participate in classes requiring them to work with others on complex problem solving, draw inferences and be independent, self-reliant learners who recognize when they are struggling and know how to seek help.12 Fewer than two-thirds of students who entered four- year colleges in 2009 seeking a bachelor’s degree received their degree six years later.13 Similarly, when the National Association of Colleges and Employers asked employers what skills they prioritize when recruiting, they unequivocally listed ability to work well on teams, decisive problem solving and effective communication — each an example of a deeper learning skill.14 www.AEP-Arts.org | @AEP_Arts
  • 6. 3 EDUCATION TRENDS www.ecs.org | @EdCommission Arts and Student Success Arts-based instruction is unique in that it has been shown to not only directly affect students’ academic success, but also indirectly does so by improving deeper learning skills. The effects can be particularly significant for at-risk populations, including low-income and English language learners (ELLs).15,16 Arts in education is most effective when integrated into other academic subjects in a process known as integrated J Understanding human experiences, both past and present. J Teamwork and collaboration. J Creatively making decisions and solving problems when no prescribed answers exist. J Adapting to and respecting others’ diverse ways of thinking, working and expressing themselves. J Understanding the influence of the arts and their power to create and reflect cultures. J Analyzing nonverbal communication and making informed judgments. J Communicating effectively.19 Arts in education benefits both students and society, because students of the arts disciplines gain

Integrated arts learning is defined as “an approach to teaching and learning in which students engage in a creative process that connects an art form with another subject to promote deeper learning in both.”17 The intended outcome is not only for the student to become proficient in the art, but also to support the student’s understanding of a core subject. For example, drama can provide an ELL student with a unique opportunity to learn vocabulary or experiment with the different communication styles of the English language.18

In other words, focusing on [deeper learning] skills may further improve reading, writing and mathematics performance.”28 www.AEP-Arts.org | @AEP_Arts 5 EDUCATION TRENDS www.ecs.org | @EdCommission Expanding Arts in Education Programs As state education leaders begin to refocus their efforts on providing K-12 students with a well-rounded education that includes the arts, existing initiatives can serve as promising examples. Innovative leaders across the country are exploring arts-based programs for students to keep them engaged and to foster deeper learning skills. The following programs successfully increased access to the arts in education in public schools. Schools, districts and communities initiated the programs and it is districts, foundations and community organizations that often provide funding through a cooperative effort. District-Led Initiatives Boston Public Schools Arts Expansion Initiative In 2008, the Boston Public Schools Arts Expansion Initiative
  • 13. launched with the goal of ensuring all pre-K-8 students receive once weekly, yearlong arts instruction and providing access to targeted arts programs for high school students. As of 2016, a total of 17,000 additional pre-k-12 students experienced arts during the school day with 94 percent of pre-k-8 students receiving weekly instruction.29 A true public-private partnership, program funding is provided by foundation supports, a significant investment by the local school district and local community groups, including the mayor’s office.30 Unique to most other programs, is the district’s substantial $11 million investment.31 Seattle Public Schools Creative Advantage In 2013, Seattle Public Schools launched the Creative Advantage initiative to increase access to high-quality arts education for all students in response to finding that 40 percent of public school K-3 students in the district received no arts instruction and that a student’s race and ethnicity, and/or ELL and Free and Reduced Lunch status was predictive of arts access. The program began serving schools with the greatest need and expands its services across the district each year. From 2013-15, the largest investment came directly from the district — $1.4 million towards certified arts teachers, professional development, materials and arts assessments.32 This past school year, teachers began administering the 21st Century Arts Common Assessments that intentionally teach and assess 21st century skills. The program has already boasted positive results by increasing the number of students demonstrating 21st century skills and access to trained art teachers.33 School-Wide Initiatives A+ Schools Program
  • 14. Established in 1995, the A+ Schools Program began in North Carolina. To date, North Carolina boasts 46 schools as part of the A+ Schools Program, a whole-school reform model that views the arts as fundamental to teaching and learning in all subjects.34 Program approaches include: 1) Arts integration — bringing together arts and non-arts objectives to create hands-on, experiential, connected and meaningful learning experiences, 2) Arts education — developing an understanding and comfort in the elements, principles, history, processes and works of each art form, and 3) Arts exposure — creating opportunities for students and staff to experience artistic works, performances and careers both in the school and in the community.35 An evaluation of Oklahoma’s program, another state utilizing the A+ Schools Program, found that the program increases student achievement and boosts attendance and decreases discipline problems.36,37 A+ Schools Program also works with pilot sites across the country to continue to expand. Community-Led Initiatives School of Arts and Culture at the Mexican Heritage Plaza The School of Arts and Culture at the Mexican Heritage Plaza in San Jose, California brings the benefits of arts into a disadvantaged community. The Plaza offers arts-based programs, such as dance, painting, music and leadership trainings, ensuring children can access unique and culturally- relevant learning opportunities. The Plaza’s goal is to “narrow the opportunity gap in arts education and learning, nurture the joy, creativity and well-being of our children http://www.bpsarts.org/bps-arts-expansion.html http://www.creativeadvantageseattle.org/ https://aplus-schools.ncdcr.gov/

Policy Considerations ESSA creates new momentum behind subjects like the arts by encouraging states to ensure all students have access to a well-rounded education. This represents an acknowledgment that students require skills that reach far beyond what they can achieve in an English or math class. Education Commission of the States’ report, ESSA: Mapping opportunities for the arts, provides seven unique ways states and districts can engage arts in the ongoing work of ESSA. The Arts Education Partnership also presents critical strategies states and districts can consider to meet its 2020 Action Agenda for Advancing the Arts in Education. This report provides evidence that arts education is a worthwhile investment that can support meaningful and long-term student success. Small policy changes and local investments in arts education can lead to meaningful effects for students. To begin with, state and local education leaders can use the following policy considerations to better identify areas for expansion based on what works in their unique policy landscape. Examples include offering arts integration
  • 16. strategies in existing teacher and school leader professional development, creating a pilot program to expand access to the arts in high-need districts before expanding statewide, or requiring schools to report arts-related data on accountability report cards prior to including it as an indicator for school ratings. Select Considerations for Policymakers State-Level: J Create a task force consisting of department of education staff and local arts education stakeholders to create an arts education plan for public school. J Include arts in high school graduation requirements. J Include in ESSA state plans.39 ➡ Address access and participation rates in arts education as part of state accountability and/or reporting systems. ➡ Address the arts as part of a well-rounded education. ➡ Include arts education within after-school 21st century community learning center programs. J Revisit the state accountability system. ➡ Include arts assessments in the state accountability system. ➡ Consider competency-based models for learning and assessment. J Provide targeted professional development for
  • 17. educators. J Incorporate the arts as an essential component of all educator workforce development programs.40 J Incorporate learning in the arts as part of a comprehensive definition of college, career and citizenship readiness. Local Level: J Engage and build relationships with key arts and education stakeholders invested in education improvement.41 ➡ Seek out foundation and community organization funding opportunities and engage them in public/ private partnerships. ➡ Provide targeted professional development for educators including arts integration strategies. ➡ Encourage leaders to: (1) establish a school-wide commitment to arts learning; (2) create an arts-rich learning environment; and/or (3) revisit the use of time/resources.42 https://www.ecs.org/ec- content/uploads/ESSA_Mapping_the_opportunities_for_the_arts -3.pdf https://www.ecs.org/ec- content/uploads/ESSA_Mapping_the_opportunities_for_the_arts -3.pdf http://www.aep-arts.org/wp- content/uploads/2017_AEP_2020_Action_Agenda.pdf http://www.aep-arts.org/wp-
