    Melissa- I hope the reports on these websites help. There are many others, but I have found these sites and reports to be pretty interesting.
    Also, I have been working on an annotated list of sources and studies related to arts-based literacy programs in schools. It is getting lengthy, but if it would help I would be more than happy to email it to you. Just send me an email offline.
    Best of luck,
    Emily

    I'm pulling out my bigs guns on this one. PE is trying to get my
    principal
    to hire another PE teacher instead of an art teacher. (We have 2 PE, 2
    music and 1 1/2 art on our campus of 700 students). I need proof that
    art
    is just as valuable to the curriculum as PE. They have come up with all
    sorts of articles and websites to show many hours a week the children
    need
    PE. So, I need to find proof that the children need more than 50 minutes
    of
    art once per week. The more websites I can find the better. I have dug
    around on here and the NAEA website and haven't found much. Anything at
    this point would help!!!

    THANKS!
