The Arts Education Partnership (AEP), a division of the Council of Chief State School Officers, has just released "Preparing Students for the Next America: The Benefits of an Arts Education." This new research bulletin offers an evidenced-based snapshot of how the arts support achievement in school while bolstering the skills demanded of a 21st century workforce and enrich the lives of young people and communities. It draws upon a body of research in the Arts Education Partnership's ArtsEdSearch.org and highlights the relevancy to the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts and Mathematics.
