Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic raised concerns that academic skills would wither away during the lockdown and with it, social-emotional skills. This is assumed to be as true for neurotypical students as for neurodiverse ones. When students return to their schools, how will they function again in their social environment? The key to addressing the transition back to the “new normal” is the arts, which encompass the whole child: cognition, emotions, social, and physical aspects. This article highlights how creating Barrier-Free Theater programs that include drama, music, dance, art, and creative writing could help all students regain the academic progress they have lost, and with the support of creative arts therapists, could lead to the blossoming of a welcoming and inclusive school community in which everyone, regardless of difference, is valued for their innate creativity and human spirit. Barrier-Free Theater can be integrated in classroom curricula, after-school programs, or with community-school partnerships. Creative arts therapists approach students from a strengths-based perspective. We share processes and strategies to incorporate Barrier-Free Theater, where participants are provided the opportunity to make choices, be respected, and learn through solving problems together. This holistic group process allows the arts to heal trauma and disconnection, while enhancing executive functioning and social-emotional connections.

Abstract Due to the pandemic, teachers across the nation were thrown into a digital educational environment where they had to rely on technology (and the good graces of parents) to convey instruction across the virtual learning landscape. For teachers of the visual arts, the shift to virtual learning created the opportunity and challenge to create engaging, fun, and relevant lessons, especially when teaching students with disabilities. The impetus for accessibility to visual arts learning for all students comes from the importance of visual arts to culture, community, and further life skill engagement. The basis for the need for accessible instruction is in the policies and procedures developed at a county, state, and federal level supporting the access to the educational environment for students with disabilities. In this article, we move from the macro level of policy and procedure to the micro level of real teachers implementing appropriate strategies to engage students directly in their visual arts instruction. We, in collaboration with visual arts instructors, dive into the barriers that came with the shift to a virtual learning environment during the pandemic for students with disabilities, and how they identified strategies to bridge the gaps. Teachers identified how their “teaching toolbox” was stretched and expanded through the use of new digital tools. We also identify supports and strategies lacking in the digital learning environment and how the teachers attempted to overcome them. The teachers also share how they implemented specially designed instructional strategies to meet the students’ needs while engaging the students with the visual arts content. We explore teacher perspectives on the implementation of digital strategies during distance learning and gain insights on lessons learned, strategies to carry forward, and digital divides that continue, even into the varied learning modes following the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract This article serves as an introduction to issue number 124 (4). In this issue of Arts Education policy Review, the authors have focused on access, policy, and students who are disadvantaged because of different abilities, poverty, race, class, and other barriers. In addition, the authors represent educators from a cross-section of stakeholders including in-service arts teachers, community engaged therapists, college teacher educators, and schools district administrators. It is hoped that by examining these important topics from the perspective of many stakeholders, we can begin a policy shift toward more equal experiences for all students in the United States.

Abstract According to the National Center for Educational Statistics, in 2016 about 1 in 5 children in the United Stated lives in poverty (19%) Students in our music classrooms and ensembles do not begin life from the same starting line. They come from homes and communities that are vastly different. The intersections of poverty, disability, racial inequity, disability, and trauma are inextricably linked in their daily lives. This article will examine these issues and offer suggestions for future policy and practice decisions in the arts.

Abstract Promoting equitable access to the arts may depend on structures that support teachers in integrating arts into core curricula. We describe an arts-integration design that spotlights attention within and beyond one teacher credential program to one arts field–drama–engaging 24 new non-arts teachers across grades and subjects who participated in a drama academy. Our project shines the light on contributions of early-career teachers to generating conceptions derived from immersion in drama and inquiry into classroom practice. We focus on teachers’ developing repertoires of drama-based pedagogy (DBP) practices for use among wwdiverse learners, and on engagements in ongoing inquiry and reflective cycles. Drawing upon teachers’ reflections and classroom inquiry projects from a multiyear experience, we mapped teachers’ drama conceptions and practices in three interactive tiers: foundational, core, and critical literacies. We illustrate themes with teachers’ reflections and reports of practice, including a vignette of a Mexican-American/Chicana teacher with children ages 9–10, a number of them native-Spanish speaking emergent bilinguals. The study informs teacher efforts in diverse classrooms to integrate and sustain classroom drama. Drawing upon insights and themes from results, we offer policy implications and recommendations for others wishing to design for and learn from innovative drama integration efforts.

Abstract Arts education can be an important part of the elementary child’s experience. However, keeping the arts in schools is often a challenge because of funding concerns and competing academic priorities. An important strategy in arts education advocacy and policy is arts integration. Arts integration creates a rationale for the arts based on the enhancement of the educational experience for all students and the potential to engage underserved or less engaged students with academic disciplines through the arts. This article examines teacher experiences within a statewide program that funds arts specialists in elementary schools with the requirement that they integrate the arts with other subjects. The researchers describe how the program works with particular focus on collaboration between arts specialists and classroom teachers. This is a multifaceted study across four school districts with 640 participants including classroom teachers and arts specialists. An understanding of both arts integration and how collaboration happens between elementary teachers and arts specialists was gained through interviews, classroom visits, and surveys. The data suggest that effective integration and collaboration can enhance teachers’ professional growth but require structural and policy support as well as the creativity and energy of individual teachers. The professional life of arts specialists, teacher knowledge, and professional development emerged as important issues for teachers, school leaders, and arts advocates.

Abstract This Special Focus issue of Arts Education Policy Review highlights the work of diverse scholars who consider policies at the local and organizational levels that impact the preparation and work of dance, music, and theater teaching artists in P-12 school and community youth development settings. Doug Risner and I (Colleen) were Guest Editors for this issue and are excited to bring this scholarship forth. We (Colleen, Sarah, Mike) begin this introduction discussing the emergence of the term teaching artist. The middle section addresses the preparation and professional development of teaching artists as well as the varied types of programs employing teaching artists. The introduction ends by situating the six articles in this Special Focus issue within arts education policy and the concepts discussed.
