The Creative Learning Initiative (CLI), a collective impact partnership among the ÁùºÏ±¦µä (ÁùºÏ±¦µä), the city of ÁùºÏ±¦µä, and MINDPOP (an arts partnership dedicated to expanding creative learning in ÁùºÏ±¦µä and representing over 50 arts and cultural agencies), created arts-rich schools at a rate that exceeded the benchmark goal. The CLI had a positive impact on both teachers and students, as well as on the district. Teachers reported positive experiences with the program activities and positive changes in student engagement, behavior, and student achievement. Students had better academic performance, improved attendance, decreased discipline incidents, and increased access to arts opportunities.
