Cody and Dufresne: No Art Left Behind

art6 In the past 13 years of No Child Left Behind and Race to the Top test-driven education policies, art has been pushed to the margins in our schools. Students have lost countless hours for creating art, music and dance that expresses themselves. But artistic expression is like the seedling that forces its way through cracks in the asphalt. This blog series will explore how students and teachers use art to express themselves.

The series was inspired by a Facebook post authored by artist and kindergarten teacher Susan DuFresne.
