KET's Education Matters to show how arts education contributes to student success

On the next edition of Education Matters, “New Directions in Arts Education,” guests take a look at how arts education contributes to a student’s overall academic success. The program airs Monday, Feb. 27 at 8 p.m. CT on KET.

In the program, arts educators explore the growing body of research that links the study of dance, drama, visual arts and music to overall academic success. They also discuss Kentucky’s new Program Review for assessing each school’s arts and humanities program.

In addition to the panel discussion, the program features a visit to Berea for the annual Walk with the Arts, where students interact with storytellers, potters, musicians and other artists making a connection between creativity and learning.

Panelists on the program include:
  • Robert Duncan, arts and humanities consultant for the Kentucky Department of Education
  • Sara Francis, orchestra teacher at Edith B. Hayes Middle School in Fayette County
  • Scottie Billiter, assistant principal at Letcher County Central High School
Education Matters is a KET production, produced by Nancy Carpenter. More information about KET programming and education services, as well as how to support KET, can be found at ket.org.
