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 bonusTo Jensen, it's not a matter of choosing, say, the musical arts over the kinesthetic. Rather, ask what kind of art makes sense for what purposes. How much time per day? At what ages? What kind of music? What kind of movement? Should the arts be required? How do we assess arts programs? In answering these real-world questions, Jensen provides dozens of practical, detailed suggestions for incorporating the arts into every classroom. 606 $aArts$xStudy and teaching$zUnited States 606 $aCognition in children$zUnited States 606 $aCurriculum planning$zUnited States 615 0$aArts$xStudy and teaching 615 0$aCognition in children 615 0$aCurriculum planning 676 $a700/.71/273 700 $aJensen$b Eric$0623404 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826330803321 996 $aArts with the brain in mind$94104585 997 $aUNINA
