Here Are Your Next Steps

The conversation about the skills art builds is happening now. These two steps will make sure your school community is part of it.

Bring It Into Your Classroom

Hang a Human Skills poster in your art room. Celebrate the skills your students are already building and give every visitor a window into the impact of art education.

Use the Art is… lesson from FLEX Curriculum with your students. It’s ready to teach, and it opens up a real conversation about the skills they’re building and why it matters for their futures.

Teach the Art is… FLEX lesson and then in September visit The Art of Ed Community to see how you can win a classroom prize pack!


Start the Conversation with Parents

Share artwork from the Art is… FLEX lesson with families before Back-to-School Night or in your classroom or school newsletter. It gives them the language to talk about what their children are actually learning in your art room.

One Word Data Project board with the PAE instructions in the middle surrounded by sticky notes that include one word that describes what they learned from fine arts education.

Use a One Word Board from Parents for Arts Education at your Open House or Back-to-School event. It’s quick and easy: participants write a word, you snap a photo and submit, and those responses become part of the Human Skills Advantage Data Project.
