WOWW works with arts, science, and cultural organizations and educational institutions to promote excellence in interdisciplinary arts, science and cultural programs. Its primary goal is to integrate arts, science and cultural programming into the core curriculum of Math, Science, Language Arts and Social Studies. This allows teachers to use this programming to teach the Texas Essential Knowledge & Skills (TEKS).

Research has determined that the cultural arts are a vital and indispensable element of educational success. It has been shown that involvement in the arts decreases truancy, rekindles the love of learning, fosters racial understanding, increases levels of math and reading skills, reduces anxiety and school stress levels, and contributes to overall academic success.

When teachers fully integrate arts, science and cultural programming into the core curriculum, the following results are achieved:

• Learning experiences beyond the classroom
• Greater community collaboration
• Happier, healthier atmospheres in schools
• Improved test scores
• Increased attendance
• Greater student success
