| Publisher Description: Often left out of policy discussions about the implementation of Common Core Learning Standards is the role of the arts in public education. "Common Sense Arts Standards" is indeed a common sense approach on how the arts can contribute to overall student achievement in the era of Common Core. As our society becomes increasingly arts-infused through associated technologies such as the Internet (a visual and aural artistic medium), the skills that can be developed through participation in the arts will become more and more invaluable in preparing students to become capable adults in an increasingly conceptual, complex, and globalized 21st Century economy. Written in a conversational tone, "Common Sense Arts Standards" eschews jargon and enables a cognitive shift from Common Core's English Language Arts standards to an arts context in ways that students can transfer their understanding to a variety of learning domains and, indeed, to their everyday lives. |
