From the development of the learning experience to the folks in front of the camera, the graphic design to videography, editing and publishing, this series has been so collaborative! Thankful for each person involved!

National Arts in Education Week shines a light on a critical gap: more than 2 million students have zero access to arts education. Every student deserves the opportunity to create, innovate and thrive through the arts! #ArtsEdWeek #StrongerTogether

It's National Arts in Education Week! Time to celebrate the teachers, mentors and moments that sparked our creativity. Arts educators don't just teach-they unlock possibilities and help every student create, innovate and thrive through the arts. #ArtsInEducation #StrongerTogether

Students engaged in arts learning have: 🎓Higher GPAs & test scores 🎓Greater college-going rates 🎓Lower dropout rates These benefits reach students across all backgrounds, yet more than 2 million still lack access to arts education. Let’s change that! #ArtsInEducation

We're not just fostering creativity - we're building America's workforce. Students without arts education are missing skills employers demand. Arts education builds the collaboration, confidence, and critical thinking that drive success. #ArtsInEducationWeek #StrongerTogether

So thankful for partnerships in the arts community who help provide high-quality, student-centered, standards-focused professional learning in Visual and Performing Arts! Thank you to the Ky Arts Council and Cynthia Warner! youtu.be/rvUbBaL8S2o

Excited to be joining multiple districts tomorrow in Western Ky for a day of Visual and Performing Arts professional learning and partnership!

For students facing mental health challenges, the arts offer emotional regulation skills, stress reduction, supportive peer connections and healthy outlets for expression. Every student deserves the chance to thrive-not just academically, but emotionally. #ArtsInEducation

What a wonderful day of learning in Western Ky with amazing arts educators! Thank you Kara & Jason Smith for having me back!

A few more moments from today in Owensboro!

I don’t know if I can adequately express how excited I am to have this new resource available for VPA! I’ll share more gratitude over the next few days for all the discipline experts and arts partners who made this possible, but for now, enjoy exploring! kystandards.org/standards-reso…
