Fall Learning Institute: Interconnectedness of Student Success & the Arts

Join Ingenuity for our Fall Learning Institute as we explore our study, “The Arts Advantage in Chicago Public Schools.” While our findings show access to arts education closely correlates with access to opportunity and resources, this study reveals that arts access remains a statistically significant predictor of student success. Together we will examine this data and discuss how to leverage sector-wide research to strengthen organizational missions, programs, and advocacy plans.
