The Creative Schools Initiative
Incentivizing the Arts in Chicago Public Schools through a Multi- Pronged Approach
Abstract
Over the past ten years, numerous studies and reports have come out focused on the benefits of the arts in schools, and the consequences of their absence. Cities and school districts across the U.S. have taken different approaches to acting on the findings, which have included how the arts foster creativity and innovation, increase student achievement and teacher satisfaction, and have an even stronger impact for at-risk students.
