ABSTRACT
This concluding chapter makes suggestions for what literacy educators can do to promote artistic literacies and support a broad literacy education within schools. Arts education has a history of being extracurricular, and all too often people obtain the bulk of their arts education outside of public-school settings. The educators need to honor the arts. This will require that literacy educators seek to promote arts classrooms as spaces where young people engage in art making rather than seeking to use arts classrooms as spaces in which to learn and practice traditional print literacies. The literacy educators as well as arts educators would do well to familiarize themselves with the national core arts standards. Arts and literacy educators familiar with the national core arts standards can use the standards to discuss how instruction in arts classrooms might attend to all the processes rather than give undue attention to only one.
