Research shows that the fine arts enhance brain function by impacting brain wave patterns, emotions, and the nervous system while also raising serotonin levels. By using our creative abilities, we tap into multiple intelligences that support how we learn.  Evidence suggests that students improve in math, reading, science, and other subjects when the arts are infused into a school's curriculum. So what artistic opportunities do K-12 students have available to them, how are these programs funded and what career opportunities do the fine arts provide? We’ll explore those topics and more in this episode of Educationally Speaking.

Speaking Educationally Speaking Educationally We dive into a lot of discussions around things that are uncomfortable to speak about in educational circles. We are 3 educators that try to show and model different perspectives. We can have uncomfortable conversations, comfortably. Im With The Boys Edwin Sarti & Jesse Gonzalez & Jayfet ramirez What's better than the truth when speaking about Mental Health, the answer is, the brutal truth? Here we have Ed, jay, Jesse who have lived wild lives through, tough experiences,hardships and live to tell the tale. Both boys have not only lived mental health through experiences, but excelled educationally as well. They have a degree in Human Services, Social behavior & self development, psychology and even business. They don't speak in a "Professional" manner like most podcast do, so be ready to hear some very explicit content, but it the truth and nothing, but da truth. So, push play already!
