Young Audiences Arts for Learning (YA) is pleased to introduce the Arts for Learning Studio, a new online resource sharing insights, resources, and findings from YA’s national initiatives.
With its launch, the Arts for Learning Studio extends the reach of RAISE, a multi-state initiative funded by the U.S. Department of Education spanning five years (2021-2026). Through RAISE, teaching artists, classroom teachers, and school support staff have worked together to develop customized, healing-centered and culturally responsive arts education residencies that support student learning and well-being. The Arts for Learning Studio will also feature curricular materials from other YA national initiatives, including EASE and ARTISTIC.
This new resource provides an opportunity to share lessons from our work—both classroom lessons and lessons learned—with the broader arts in education community. By making resources and findings from YA's national initiatives available online, YA aims to support continued learning and help inform future approaches to arts-integrated learning and instruction.
- Resources: Our national activities have yielded a library of activity plans and video exemplars, created by our community of teaching artist leaders, which can be filtered by program and art discipline. Try them out and share your own strategies, too.
- Reflections: Hear directly from fellow practitioners: teachers, school leaders, and teaching artists share their key challenges and takeaways from the arts-integrated classroom. Dig into our research findings from teaching artists and evaluator partners.
The Arts for Learning Studio is part of YA’s commitment to disseminating findings from our national initiatives and extending their impact beyond participating schools and communities.
