Abstract/Description
This case study explores the skill of engaging and persisting that Nebraska rural freshmen students possess based on whether an art education class was offered every year of middle school. Data was gathered through multiple student observations, field notes, and student document and artifact analysis. This study emphasizes the critical need for art education at every level, especially in middle school, to ensure the strong development of engaging and persisting essential for high school learning experiences.
