Arts With The Brain In Mind Description

How do the arts stack up as a major discipline? What is their effect on the brain, learning, and human development? How might schools best implement and assess an arts program? Eric Jensen answers these questions and more in this book.

To push for higher standards of learning, many policymakers are eliminating arts programs. To Jensen, that’s a mistake.

This book presents the definitive case, based on what we know about the brain and learning, for making arts a core part of the basic curriculum and thoughtfully integrating them into every subject. Separate chapters address musical, visual, and kinesthetic arts in ways that reveal their influence on learning.

What are the effects of a fully implemented arts program? The evidence points to the following: * Fewer dropouts

* Higher attendance

* Better team players

* An increased love of learning

* Greater student dignity

* Enhanced creativity

* A more prepared citizen for the workplace of tomorrow

* Greater cultural awareness as a bonus
