Intro:
In Arts with the Brain in Mind, educator and brain researcher Eric Jensen makes a compelling case for integrating the arts into the core of academic curricula. Backed by neuroscience and educational research, Jensen demonstrates how music, drama, dance, and visual arts enhance learning, memory, attention, and social development.

• Practical Integration: Provides actionable strategies for incorporating the arts in classrooms, even in budget-constrained environments.

• Neuroscience Explained Simply: Breaks down complex brain research into practical takeaways for teachers and school leaders.

• Policy and Practice: Advocates for arts as a core subject rather than a luxury, helping influence educational policy and reform.
