A recent poll of 1,500 IBM executives identified creativity as the number one leadership competency of the future. All around us are matters of national and international importance that are crying out for creative solutions.
Newsweek Magazine “The Creativity Crisis” June 2010
The challenge now is to transform education systems into something better suited for the real needs of the 21st century. At the heart of this transformation there has to be a radically different view of human intelligence and of creativity.Sir Ken Robinson – Internationally recognized leader and author in the
development of creativity, innovation and human resources
Philosophical Foundations Lifelong Goals
The Arts as Communication
Artistically literate citizens use a variety of artistic media, symbols, and metaphors to independently create and perform work that expresses/conveys/communicates their own ideas, and are able to respond by analyzing and interpreting the artistic communications of others.
The Arts as Creative Personal Realization
Artistically literate citizens find at least one art form in which they develop sufficient competence to continue active involvement in that art form as an adult.
The Arts as Culture, History, and Connections
Artistically literate citizens know and understand artwork from varied historical periods and cultures, and actively seek and appreciate diverse forms and genres of artwork of enduring quality/significance. They also understand relationships among the arts, and cultivate habits of searching for and identifying patterns and relationships between the arts and other knowledge.
The Arts as a Means to Wellbeing
Artistically literate citizens find joy, inspiration, peace, intellectual stimulation, meaning, and other life-enhancing qualities through participation in all of the arts.
The Arts as Community Engagement
Artistically literate citizens seek artistic experiences and support the arts in their local community.
National Core Arts Standards: A Conceptual Framework for Arts Learning:
What motivates us…Increasing student engagement
Capitalizing on learning modalities
Focused on the “WHAT” that matters….those highly prized 21st century skills (creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, communication)
Cultivating the habits of mind that make kids life- long learners
Increasing access to ARTS for students through partnership between general education classroom teachers and certified arts teachers (arts integration) the partnership secures the attainment of the academic content + arts content. Deepens learning in multi subjects when done “right.”

“The skills of the 21st century need us to create scholars who can link the unlinkable. …
Nurturing curious, creative problem solvers who can master the art of figuring things out will make them ready for this unknown brave new world. And that is the best legacy we can possibly leave.
