Wisconsin Educators Are Improvising Amid Lackluster Arts Funding
Wisconsin ranks next-to-last in the nation when it comes to arts funding, spending about 18 cents per person, according to the National Assembly of State Arts Agencies. So what gives? And what are our state’s children missing out on when they don’t have access to creative outlets in school? Erica Halverson, professor of curriculum and instruction at UW-Madison’s School of Education, is trying to make arts more accessible in Madison schools. As the co-founder of a program called Whoopensocker, she’s bringing innovative storytelling techniques to classrooms across the state. Today, host Bianca Martin chats with Erica to find out what’s in store for the future of arts education in Wisconsin.
