Abstract/Description
This case study examines the association between an arts education and social-emotional learning (SEL) and attempts to identify if an increased social competence positively affects behavior in the classroom. Education policies are explored as well as outcomes of SEL through art programs. Organizations promoting the SEL such as CASEL and educational plans highlighting art/SEL integration from the UChicago Consortium of School Research are studied. Behavior data from CUSD 300 in northwestern Illinois is examined in relation to art and SEL education.
