AI Summary
This Concurrent Resolution, titled "Arts Education Month: March 2013," proclaims the month of March 2013 as Arts Education Month in California and encourages widespread participation in celebrating the arts. The resolution emphasizes that arts education, encompassing dance, music, theatre, and visual arts, is a fundamental part of basic education for all students from prekindergarten through 12th grade, crucial for developing lifelong learning skills and preparing students for success after high school. It highlights how a structured arts curriculum complements other subjects by fostering unique ways of thinking, expression, and learning, leading to benefits such as improved cultural understanding, creative thinking, cognitive development, emotional intelligence, social skills, and readiness for the workplace. The resolution also notes that arts education is mandated by California law and recognized as a college preparatory subject by the University of California and California State University systems, and that March is a time when national and state arts education associations hold celebrations, providing an opportunity for California schools to showcase the value of the arts, promote cross-cultural understanding, recognize young artists, and build public support for these essential programs. Finally, it directs the Chief Clerk of the Assembly to distribute copies of the resolution to the author for further distribution.
