Implementing interdisciplinary curriculum is uniquely able to prepare students for the true challenges they face later in life as part of the American workforce. By encouraging students to work between disciplines, sharing ideas across classrooms, and open their minds to new educational opportunities, they acquire some of the most in demand skills of today's day and age, like communication, creativity, leadership, and citizenship.
Today's educational system binds children to clearly defined subjects and allows for little exploration, that which helps to establish a passion for learning. All the while, only the most affluent students benefit from arts training in the form of expensive private music lessons or arts training. Incorporating arts training into base curriculum enables students from all socioeconomic backgrounds to develop the same advantages in schools, and provides underprivileged students greater opportunity for success in the future. At risk youths subjected to interdisciplinary curriculum demonstrated significant increase in participation in school sports and government, volunteering, and academic performance all associated with the arts training they were provided with.
Excellent! I think this should be the focus of your presentation.
