Crystal -
I have been reading the book Arts with the Brain in Mind by Eric Jensen, during my "spare" time (HA!) Its appendix of additional resources contains websites, a rather lengthy list of references/bibliography, and a listing of additional arts and the brain resources. (The book is published by ASCD - Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development - a search of their website will provide you with further books, videotapes, training, etc., etc. .... : www.ascd.org.)
You will also find useful publications to order/download from the NEA (www.nea.gov/pub/). Lastly, the Arts Education Partnership (www.aep-arts.org) is a wonderful resource with many downloadable reports, including the Champions of Change: The Impact of the Arts on Learning.
Those are just a few quick thoughts. Please feel free to contact me directly if you would like further information/more suggestions - I search my office....

========================================================= Important Subscriber Information:-----Original Message-----Yesterday I attended an in-service about Brain-Based Learning and children. One component (the Artful Brain) talked about art (whether visual or moving) and the role it plays in making students better human beings, allowing kids to better express themselves, and students who participate in art/music programs have higher graduation rates, and will go on to college, etc. etc. I am looking for information (stats, facts, studies, books, websites, etc.) that relate to this topic. Any suggestions?
