As the shift to digital learning widens the educational equity gap, the arts can give the most disadvantaged students a fighting chance to succeed. Painting and ceramics, music and dance, photography and filmthese arent merely hobbies; they are some of humankinds most liberating pathways to creativity and catharsis. Arts education has also been linked to not only higher GPAs and SAT scores but lower suspension and dropout rates. Here in California, we partner with 24 historically marginalized schools to harness the arts for transformation. Helping struggling students could involve steps ranging from an expanded school schedule and summer programs, to smaller classes, teacher aids and tutors, and counseling, she says.
