The Arts in Education Research Initiative

The Arts in Education Research Initiative is a program that explores how incorporating arts—like music, theater, dance, and visual arts—into school curricula can benefit students’ learning and development. It aims to generate evidence on effective strategies, helping educators and policymakers understand how arts integration can enhance creativity, critical thinking, and engagement. The initiative seeks to improve educational outcomes by promoting innovative, arts-rich teaching approaches, ultimately fostering a more well-rounded, expressive, and motivated student body.
