Posted by on June 04, 2012
The Arts and Achievement in At-Risk Youth: Findings from Four Longitudinal Studies. May 2012.This report examines arts-related variables from four large datasets — three maintained by the U.S. Department of Education and one by the U.S. Department of Labor — to understand the relationship between arts engagement and positive academic and social outcomes in children and young adults of low socioeconomic status (SES). Conducted by James Catterall, University of California Los Angeles, et al., the analyses show that achievement gaps between high- and low-SES groups appear to be mitigated for children and young adults who have arts-rich backgrounds.
