Top 10 skills children learn from the arts
Articleed By staff and wire services reports On January 22, 2013 (2:37 pm) In Around the Web, Curriculum
You don't find school reformers talking much about how we need to train more teachers in the arts, given the current obsession with science, math, technology and engineering (STEM), but here's a list of skills that young people learn from studying the arts, the Washington Post reports. They serve as a reminder that the arts — while important to study for their intrinsic value — also promote skills seen as important in academic and life success. (That's why some people talk about changing the current national emphasis on STEM to STEAM.)

Bernice,
ReplyDeleteRecently, I took a class in teaching through the arts that was very inspiring. One of the most notable ideas for me was using the arts to introduce learning, as opposed to using it as a way to express learning. This made a huge difference in my understanding of the value that the arts can have when it comes to learning for children. I've always believed in process art for my preschool children and it's affirming to read that my instincts have been right when it comes to what they can learn from these experiences, especially when they are used with intention. Thanks!
Thanks for your response, Peggy! By the way, you are a light in the class!
ReplyDeleteThanks! My goal is to light up my own mind and it's much easier...and more fun...when teachers like you turn on the switch.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Peggy, I hope things are going well for you!
ReplyDeleteLove this article!

Dr. Parrot,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this great article. I think that there is a direct relation between the arts and other subject that promotes learning outcomes where children have a holistic approach to the diverse concepts. If this type of connection could be explore/research further I believe it will star a new generation of teachers and students.
Thanks again for sharing,
Cyndhy
Thanks, Cyndhy, I hope you are doing well!
DeleteAs children learn they learn holistically when we provide the correct environment. We plant the seed and the children grow. If we do this and allow for children to develop and be nurtured with a loving enriching environment they will flourish in all areas.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Kim, for your post on my blog. I hope you are doing well!
