Abstract	Every student deserves arts instruction for its own sake, as an essential ingredient to a well-rounded education. Yet arts education adds value for a whole host of other educational purposes: among them, enhanced writing and reading, ability to retain information, problem solving, and critical thinking. Interest in models of whole-school reform that focus on integration of the arts across content areas, now in place in a handful of schools, is being bolstered by evidence that students at lower achievement levels appear to benefit from it the most. This article presents two such programs: (1) Turnaround Arts--a pilot launched in eight schools in 2012 by the President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities and now run by the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Running in 79 Title I schools in 17 states and the District of Columbia, the program is designed to turn around low-performing schools: to improve school climate, culture, and academic achievement and to deepen instruction and engagement with students and parents; and (2) A+ Schools Networks--the longest-running model of whole-school reform that embraces arts integration as a lever. A+ Schools was born in North Carolina in 1995 and now in place in 180 schools, with networks in Arkansas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma, and pilot schools elsewhere. Like Turnaround Arts, schools adopting this model make commitments that go beyond adding arts integration. A+ Schools commit to essential elements in the areas of daily arts planning, instruction, and integration; curriculum; multiple learning pathways; experiential learning; enriched assessment; collaboration; school climate; and infrastructure, which encompasses leadership support, resources, time, and space.
