Addressing the Achievement Gap through Art
Simanski, Claire
SchoolArts: The Art Education Magazine for Teachers, v108 n4 p12 Dec 2008
No Child Left Behind (NCLB) has changed the face of education in America. Now that the law is coming up for renewal, it is time to deal with the problems and inequities it has created. In this article, the author discusses the two factors at work that NCLB has failed to address: the student and the parent. She also discusses how art can help in closing or narrowing the achievement gap in this country.
