A strategy that is easy to implement – (all social levels) (Rabkin & Redmont, 2005)

The arts make students want to learn.
ARTinED
Neurological level A 100 billion neurons, 50 trillion synapses, begging to hook up
(Hall, 2005).
A child's learning environment alters brain synapses
(Bransford, 1999)
Brain development inhibited by restricting physical activity (Begley, 1996)
The limit of language is not the limit of thinking
Arts integration creates a highly stimulating learning environment.
ARTinED
