Using The Arts To Decrease The Educational Failure Of At-Risk Students, Agnes L. Scott
Using The Arts To Decrease The Educational Failure Of At-Risk Students, Agnes L. Scott
Graduate Research Papers
The number of at-risk students who are destined for educational failure, quitting school before graduation or by not learning while attending school, is increasing at an unprecedented rate (Office of Educational Research and Improvement, 1992). If America does not sufficiently educate its increasing numbers of at-risk students, the nation's social and economic status may suffer due to a deteriorated educational system. These national concerns provide an opportunity to address appropriate educational interventions to help at-risk students. This paper will review the literature which suggests using the arts to decrease the educational failure of at-risk students.
