From the President & CEO:
Young Audiences of Indiana as well as YA chapters around the country have been reflecting
on the effectiveness of arts in education programs and how they are delivered. A national
YA Use and Needs Analysis completed by Wolf Brown this year examines major changes in
cultural, demographic, and educational settings in which YA does its work. One of the trends
that emerged was a new emphasis in developing the creative capacity of young people and
forging formal and informal educational pathways to develop the individuals’ talents and
abilities. Young Audiences already approaches the arts in two ways. We value learning in
the arts as well as learning through the arts.
This philosophy is exemplified in existing programs such as Arts Partners, Summer Arts for
Youth, and Young at Arts. Two new initiatives in the planning stage this last year: Welcome
to Learning and Arts for Learning will take us deeper into experiencing the “instructive power
of the arts”.
Welcome to Learning (WTL) will be implemented in 18 IPS kindergarten classrooms starting
in January 08. Informed by experience and best practices from our Young at Arts program,
WTL will be delivered to our very young learners as a five day arts residency and parent
activity focusing on the importance of student engagement in the learning process.
YA Indiana is a test site for another new initiative, Arts for Learning (A4L). A4L Lessons is a
multi-phase literacy project targeted at grades 3-6. It starts with teacher professional
development. Basically, A4L provides teachers with instructional activities and strategies
that design arts into the curriculum to improve educational outcomes. Twelve teachers in the
Zionsville School District have participated in the training and are using the A4L framework
in their classrooms as part of a national field test.
There is a great deal more to say about YA programs this past year. Through the entire
range of programs and offerings, YA stay committed to keeping the child at the center.
Young Audiences thanks all our donors and supporters for helping us demonstrate that the
arts are a powerful force in education.
Happy New Year!

Program Success
New Look, New Movement!
In 2005, Young Audiences of Indiana embarked on an indepth evaluation of our organization which led to a bold five-year
strategic plan. I have
been pleased to work
with the board and
staff throughout this
process. There is
genuine enthusiasm
about taking an honest
look at our
organization, a look
at arts education
throughout Indiana, and finding out how others perceive us. As a
realist, I know there are challenges ahead: increased account- ability with reduced
education budgets and limited time and resources for administrators, teacher, and parents,
to name a few. Our strategic planning, and the current implementation process, have given
us positive insight as to who we are and how we can move forward in an innovative way.

Thank you to our Donors
The fees charged to schools for our programs cover approximately half the actual cost of
presenting these programs in schools. These fees are subsidized by the donations of the
many individuals and groups who share our commitment to providing quality arts education programming to Indiana children. Through their generous support, Young Audiences
of Indiana is “Arts Powering Education!” If you are interested in making a donation to assist
Young Audiences in our work, please contact Joe Brubaker, Director of Development, at
317-925-4043, ext. 12 We ask that principals, teachers, parents, and children Join Young
Audiences of Indiana in thanking the following groups and individuals for their support!

Arts4Learning Lessons!
Young Audiences artists have stunning impact on students everyday.
At Young Audiences, our position is
that the enthusiasm and instructive
power of the arts can and must be
deeply incorporated into the daily
educational process. We provide
teachers with instructional activities
gindhartphoto.com
and strategies that design arts into
the curriculum to vastly improve educational outcomes, and to prevent
American children from falling further behind students in dozens of other countries in literacy and numeracy.
Arts4Learning
superior gains. Twice
the
gains in story comprehension.
Four times the gains
in understanding “author’s
choice,” including vocabulary
and details. Six
times the
gains in using “visualization.”
Five times the gains in
understanding story elements,
including the central problem and the relationship of story events to it.
Significantly higher levels of engagement in
their class work.
Keep in mind that these results were obtained
not by artists/specialists, but by regular
elementary school teachers instructed in the
administration of the Lessons. There is much
more to say about Arts4Learning Lessons,
but of critical importance is this: this program
works because the arts are integral to its
design, not an add-on or spillover.
Until now, the effect of the arts
on students has been difficult to
quantify. Arts4Learning
(A4L) is a program that measurably proves our premise. A4L
is a literacy project targeted at
grades 3-6. It fully integrates
gindhartphoto.com
state-of-the-art literacy (based on
principles outlined in “How People Learn,” developed by a National Research
Council team led by Dr. John
Bransford) with highly motivating opportunities for creative
expression and reflection
through the arts. In the first
field test of the Lessons, an
independent study found that,
versus a comparison control
group, Arts4Learning students

district showed
