Resource Title:
Creative Youth Development: Transforming the Learning Environment

This Education Trends report explores the design and impact of CYD programs — including examples of successful programs across the country — and provides policy considerations for states looking for ways to narrow the achievement gap and support student success.

This report is part of a series — made possible with funding from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation — that highlights promising policy trends across the priority areas identified in The Arts Leading the Way to Student Success: A 2020 Action Agenda for Advancing the Arts in Education. See the other reports in this series:
