NEA Arts Magazine: It Takes a Community “But beyond test scores, A+ Schools are teaching one of the most important skills needed to succeed in the 21st century: creativity. As teachers find new avenues to engage and motivate their classrooms, students are learning the out-of-the-box thinking that is so valued in today's creative economy. With the A+ arts model as their academic companion, the future for A+ Gates County students is whatever their imagination holds”.
Duke Faith & Leadership: The Art of Collaboration and Shared Leadership at A+ Schools “A+ Schools incorporate the arts into everyday learning. The result is a student body that is more engaged and faculty and staff that are working together as never before”.
Congratulations are in order for nine A+ Schools who have been awarded grant funding totaling nearly $60,000.
