  5. Why Arts Integration? The arts engage and offer challenges for ALL students from everycultural background. “The arts give us the creativity to express ourselves while challenging our intellect.” Dr. Terry Bergeson

  6. Benefits Quality of classroom participation increased. Students show greater ability to collaborate, reflect and make choices. (Deasy, 2002 Fiske, 1999)

  7. Benefits Self-discipline/regulation increased Students were more cooperative, paid attention, problem solved, took initiative, asked questions and were well prepared.(Burton, et al, 1999;Deasy, 2002)

  8. Benefits Arts-based instruction can increase family and community support. Arts based teaching and learning “opens avenues” for students who would not ordinarily have the opportunity to experience the learning that the arts provide. Cornett, C. (2007)
