Engaging Our Most Challenging Students in Fine Arts
Iamarino, Danielle L.
Educational Leadership, v76 n4 p79-82 Dec 2018
Art/fine art teachers confront the dilemma of whether to include--in plays, concerts, and so on--students whose behavior is disruptive, off-task, or in other ways drags down otherwise good arts performances. Iamarino argues that because the arts are especially helpful to at-risk kids (who are often the very ones with problem behavior), teachers should welcome these kids into arts-related performances, prioritizing participation for all over a perfect product.
