We are kicking off this podcast with a four part lecture presentation by Dick Deasy. In this first episode we join Mr. Deasy, director of the Arts Education Partnership for the first part of his lecture, "Why Arts Education?" where he discusses why the arts aren't in schools.
ArtsEdge, the Kennedy Center's arts education network, supports the creative use of technology to enhance teaching and learning in, through, and about the arts, offering free, standards-based teaching materials for use in and out of the classroom, media-rich interactive experiences, professional development resources, and guidelines for arts-based instruction and assessment.
