  9. Evidence of the Importance of Arts Integration • It is very often that the arts “catch” students who don’t seem to have a place in society—the unusual student or the difficult kid (Bauerlein, 2010). • Since implementing arts integrations school wide at Wiley H. Bates Middle School, in Annapolis, Maryland, began in 2009, there has been a 23% drop in the average number of referrals and suspensions per student (Nobori, 2012). • Arts integration goes beyond including art projects in class; it is a teaching strategy that seamlessly merges arts standards with core curricula to build connections and provide engaging context (Nobori, 2012).

  10. Evidence of the Importance of Arts Integration • Integrating the arts “can connect people more deeply to the world and open them to new ways of seeing” (Smith, 2009). • In a study of 25,000 middle and high school students, those with an art education performed better on standardized tests (Arnold, 2013). • The more art courses a student took, the higher the student’s SAT scores were.
