Arts and Achievement
• Study 1: Arts improves academics• http://
www.dkfoundation.org/pdf/profilesofsuccess-3-4-2008.pdf
• Recent Colorado study • Profiles eight schools that are closing the
achievement gap. All of the schools offered music programs and most provided creative and performing arts.

Study 2: Arts improves engagement
2008 Colorado Council on the Arts andColorado Department of Education study showed schools
that offer more arts education have higher academicachievement and lower dropout rates.

New information
• Daniel Pink John Ratey

Daniel Pink: A Whole New Mind
![Page 13: Movement and Arts](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56815be3550346895dc9d4bb/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Daniel Pink, Arts, and Movement
• In the Conceptual Age, the logical-sequential left brain will no longer be sufficient. The right-brain can interpret many things simultaneously.
• We’ll need an integrated brain
![Page 14: Movement and Arts](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56815be3550346895dc9d4bb/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Integrated brain that does:• Work that overseas workers cannot do
cheaper• Thinking that computers can’t do faster• High-concept, high-touch thinking that
satisfies the aesthetic, emotional, and spiritual demands of a prosperous time.

Pink suggests “PLAY”
• p. 178 “When you are playful, you are activating the right side of your brain. The logical brain is a limited brain. The right side is unlimited. You can be anything you want” says Dr. Madan Kataria of India.
• Games, humor, and joyfulness can help lead to sophisticated thinking.

Exercise makes one smarter

Exercise
• Exercise…makes the brain function at its best.
• The point of exercise is to build and condition the brain.
• The relationship between food, physical activity, and learning is hardwired into the brain.
• Spark, page 3

Exercise increases levels of serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine
—important neurotransmitters that traffic in thoughts and emotions.
![Page 20: Movement and Arts](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56815be3550346895dc9d4bb/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Brains respond like muscles do, growing with use,
withering with inactivity.
…exercise causes the neuron connections to grow
and bloom with new buds, thus enhancing brain function at a
fundamental level.”

The more complex the (exercise) movements, the more complex the synaptic connections.
And even though these circuits are created through movement,
they can be recruited by other areas and used for thinking, p. 56

• Ancestors walked 12 miles a day• Rule #1 Exercise boosts brain power• Rule #3 Every brain is wired differently• Rule # 9 Stimulate more of the senses- Sensory integration is important to
learning.

How Much Exercise?
• 2-3 times per week for 30 minutes• 6 times per week for at least 30 minutes• Strenuous exercise that increases heart
rate• Aerobic exercise• Day-long movement still beneficial
