At a recent panel hosted by GOOD and the University of Phoenix, I had the honor to join Jan Kirsch from Inner City Arts, Cynthia Campoy-Brophy from The HeArt Project, and Sophia Klatzker from the Los Angeles County Arts Commission. We discussed the changing environment of schools and how our programs are working to help keep creativity in classrooms and in the lives of young people. We tackled this subject from a wide range of vantage points, but one area we all seemed to connect on was that students need to be engaged in their learning. Whether it’s through art or mentorship, students learn best when they are given the tools to take ownership of their learning.
