Abstract: Arts education programs can provide the necessary skills students need for future success, including communication skills and confidence. The Turnaround Arts program at Rosa Parks Elementary School has advanced overall student success, particularly benefiting students in Special Education. Both Special Education teachers and the Arts Specialist at Rosa Parks Elementary were interviewed and the Turnaround Arts Program was observed. Each teacher described their experiences within this program to be noteworthy and recognized the importance it has had on their students’ success in the classroom. Based on an analysis of the data and the relevant research literature, we used what we have learned to formulate an action that responds to the focus issue in a way that inspires, informs, or involves a particular audience. Our action involved educating the public about the Turnaround Arts Program and what benefits it has brought to Rosa Parks Elementary through informative flyers.
