摘要：The use of arts-integration to enhance student learning is a practice grounded in empirical research. A 2003 report by the National Association of State Boards of education (NASBE) highlighted the substantial body of research showing benefits of arts in educational curriculum and also called for stronger emphasis on the arts in educational curriculum. The purpose of this study was to highlight one arts-integration program in one school district that was a collaboration between the school district and a local arts and science council. This study highlights the findings of an external evaluation of the program conducted by researchers at a local university. Data from Teaching Artists (TAs), Classroom Teachers (CTs), school arts teachers, and external evaluators were used to provide evidence of the effectiveness of the program. Findings indicated that the goals of the program were met and allowed for the external evaluators to make recommendations to program stakeholders.
