Cherry Bomb! The Podcast

Sara Demeter Renovates The Modern Curriculum


Listen Later

Sara Mraish Demeter's Art Resource Collaborative for Kids (ARCK) has eyes on rethinking our aging education system.

Confidence, critical thinking, and communications are not taught today at the same level as the hard skills, like math and science. But, these skills are at risk of being obsoleted by AI and other technologies.

So, how do we teach new, competitive skills, such as confidence, critical thinking and communications and give our students - our children - a leg up in the world?

Sara's answer is simple: build these "soft" skills into the curriculum by bringing more art to the classroom.

Art, built into the rest of the curriculum, like math and science,  helps our students to gain confidence, grow, contribute and become better communicators.

The ARCK program integrates art skills with core classes, with the goal to do exactly that: give our future generations the tools they need to succeed in our modern world.

Join Sara and myself as we talk about this program that has successfully been running in Boston public schools for a decade and see what you think.
