About
“How do the arts stack up as a major discipline? What is their effect on the brain, learning, and human development? How might schools best implement and assess an arts program?” Eric Jensen answers these questions—and more—in this book. To push for higher standards of learning, many policymakers are eliminating arts programs. To Jensen, that's a mistake.
