Guiding questions: 1. What is the impact of fine arts on student performance on measures of college and career readiness? 2. To what extent is participation in fine arts associated with higher outcomes on measures of college and career readiness? Literature Review Findings Mathematics • Music instruction and fraction concepts (Courey, Balogh, Siker, & Paik, 2012) • Instrumental music and higher math assessment scores (Babo, 2004) • Exceptional music programs and deficient instrumental programs = better English and math (Johnson et al., 2006) • Exemplary music education programs = higher English and math test scores (Johnson et al., 2006) • Music ensembles and higher standardized math achievement scores (Miksza, 2010) Literature Review Findings English Language Arts • Preschool music intervention = better emergent literacy (Runfola, Etopio, Hamlen, & Rozendal, 2012) • Piano lessons, vocabulary, and understanding of the logical order of words (Prio & Ortiz, 2009) • Visual arts summer camp and reading assessment scores (Borman, Goetz, & Dowling, 2009) • Four months of music instruction = greater gains in ability to break words into sounds (Eastlund Gromko, 2005) Literature Review Findings English Language Arts (cont.) • Preschool arts enrichment and end-of-year receptive vocabulary (Brown, Benedett, & Armistead, 2010) • Drama-based instruction and reading skill improvement (Rose, Parks, Androes, & McMahon, 2000) • Drama-integrated class relative to language arts and math assessment scores. (Walker, Tabone, & Weltsek, 2011) • English language learners (ELL) more likely to pass the English language arts (ELA) examination (Peppler, Powell, Thompson, & Literature Review Findings Life and Career Skills • Arts integrated preschool = higher interest, happiness, and pride.

  • Which of the Three Options Do Consultees Favour, and Why?
    Question 1: Which of the three options do consultees favour, and why?: Option 2 - an increase to 20% audio description on all channels. Question 2: Do consultees have any further suggestions for future access service provision? If so please provide the rationale for these suggestions: As a blind person who enjoys audio description at home, I have three key suggestions: 1: movies -- films and longform drama are probably the most difficult genres to follow as they are least likely to have a running spoken narrative. News and documentaries tend to be easier to follow by dint of an accompanying voiceover, providing a clearer audio narrative which holds the hand of the non-sighted viewer from start to end. Films - with their noisy car chases, long periods of silence, smoldering looks between characters and expensively shot very visual sequences - tend to have been crafted by the director to minimise dialogue and to play the narrative out more effectively with images. They have the budget to do so and they do it. It appeals to a wider audience and, as such, tends to be economical with words. I'd like to suggest that channels which show movies and drama as a big part of their output - Sky Movies, FilmFour, ITV3, Virgin One, Sky One FX for example - ought to weight their AD towards this. I'd like to suggest 20% of all programmes be described ... but 75% of all movies with broadcast start times between 5pm and 10pm . They can make up a big part of a broadcaster's evening schedule and as such greater provision should be made.

Readers skim a text quickly to get an overall sense of what it is about and if it has the information that they need. Read the text below quickly, trying to identify the key words that give you an idea of what it is about. Everyone wants to be in a pop band when they are teenagers because they think they will become a celebrity and make lots of money. More pop bands fail than are successful and aspiring pop musicians need to have a back-up plan if they are going to be able to make a living for themselves. Not everyone can copy the success of Take That or Westlife – not because they do not have the necessary talent; success is more to do with how the band is marketed and promoted by their manager and the quality of the competition from other bands. If pop bands do not have that level of financial and business support, then they are less likely to be successful.

  • Competition and Public Service Broadcasting: Stimulating Creativity Or Servicing Capital?
    COMPETITION AND PUBLIC SERVICE BROADCASTING: STIMULATING CREATIVITY OR SERVICING CAPITAL? Centre for Business Research, University of Cambridge Working paper No. 408 by Simon Turner Department of Health Services Research and Policy, London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, Keppel Street, London, WC1E 7HT Email: [email protected] Ana Lourenço School of Economics and Management, Catholic University of Portugal, Rua Diogo Botelho, 1327, 4169-005, Porto, Portugal. Email: [email protected] June 2010 This working paper forms part of the CBR Research Programme on Corporate Governance Abstract In UK public service broadcasting, recent regulatory change has increased the role of the private sector in television production, culminating in the BBC’s recent introduction of ‘creative competition’ between in-house and independent television producers. Using the concept of ‘cognitive distance’, this paper focuses on the increasing role of the independent sector as a source of creativity and innovation in the delivery of programming for the BBC. The paper shows that the intended benefits of introducing new competencies into public service broadcasting have been thwarted by, on the one hand, a high level of cognitive proximity between in-house and external producers and, on the other, a conflict in values between the BBC and the independent sector, with the latter responding to a commercial imperative that encourages creativity in profitable genres, leaving gaps in other areas of provision. While recent regulatory reform appears to have had a limited impact on the diversity of programming, it does suggest a closer alignment of programme content with the imperatives of capital. Implications for the literature on communities of practice are noted.
