Solving Complex Issues with Proven Creative Solutions
Students deserve equitable access to the arts and creative learning.
Students engaged with the arts are more likely to pass standardized tests, graduate high school and enroll in higher education. Unfortunately, many schools are unable to provide students access to arts learning and programs that are proven to help young people succeed. View Our Case Studies
Teachers want proven techniques that increase academic achievement and student engagement.
Over 85% of teachers receiving creative teaching professional development report these teaching strategies increase student achievement, student engagement and help them rethink their approach to teaching and student learning. By providing another tool that works, teachers expand their repertoires of effective instructional techniques.
Our future success requires an increased capacity for creativity and innovation.
