Assertion: Time and Sustained Energy


An arts education that meets student standards needs to be conducted for a long enough period of time to actually take root and grow; in consequence, because time is a key issue for instruction, teacher preparation programs need to focus on time management as a key issue.

The assertion I decided to respond to was the time and sustained energy assertion. I think that this assertion is very relevant because as the article stated, the curriculum keeps being added to, but the time remains the same. Teachers have very limited time during their days to create lessons that take a lot of preparation. Music and art benefit children in many ways. It helps students remember concepts and is a factor in raising standardized test scores. Although planning music and art lessons are a little more time consuming, teachers should invest that time so that their students can thrive as well-rounded learners.
