Making a Difference in the Lives of Students (GSCA 2023 Annual Conference)

Middle

Appropriate for All Counselors

Student Focused

Although the arts can be viewed as simply an outlet for students, many are unaware of its inconspicuous benefits.  The arts can improve students’ communication and problem-solving skills, collaboration, and overall increase confidence.  In my presentation, I will discuss how the arts can benefit students’ academic achievement, self-esteem, social-emotional learning, and creativity.  The attendees will understand how the arts positively correlate with students’ performance using research, teachers' and students' anecdotes, and data.
