Making VPAA "Sticky"

VPAA Design Team: How to make Visual, Performing and Applied Arts Courses "Sticky"

This post relates to an article John Kratus, Professor of Music Education at Michigan State University, has written a paper in which he attributes the decline in music education to its need to:

"become sticky, that is it must become potent and irresistible. It must also connect to the culture in meaningful ways to enable the epidemic to spread. There must be mavens to initiate the change, connectors to transmit the change to a broader population, and salesmen (and women) to translate the change into each school's own context."

I think many would agree that the same is true of the other visual, performing, and applied arts areas.

How do we help schools and teachers throughout the state make visual, performing, and applied arts credits "sticky?"
