Arts education for parents and teachers: A practical guide
Arts education for parents and teachers is a vital bridge between imagination and inquiry, inviting caregivers and educators to partner in shaping curious, resilient learners who approach challenges with creativity, empathy, and persistence across diverse settings, reinforcing how art-making crosses boundaries between home and school.Research on arts education benefits demonstrates improvements in literacy, numeracy, critical thinking, problem solving, and collaboration when families and teachers engage together, providing a common language for discussing student growth, celebrating diverse strengths, and aligning daily routines at home with classroom expectations, routines, and feedback loops that sustain motivation and growth.
