Otton, executive director of the South Texas Institute for the Arts, said Visionarios was designed to encourage students to participate in the arts, which is linked to improved student achievement. "Studies have shown that students who participate in the arts do better in school and on standardized tests A standardized test is a test administered and scored in a standard manner. The tests are designed in such a way that the "questions, conditions for administering, scoring procedures, and interpretations are consistent" [1] and are less likely to drop out," he said. "Yet often, arts programs are among the first to be cut when education budgets are tight." "We joined forces with Flint Hills to create this contest because of our shared commitment to improve the quality of life in the Coastal Bend and help prepare students for success in the classroom. As a major employer, Flint Hills depends on both the availability of educated, qualified and creative employees and on the area's high quality of life. As the area's leading arts organization, STIA is dedicated to enriching lives through art. Visionarios helps achieve both goals by supporting students' academic and personal growth," Otton said. "Visionarios encourages young people to envision a bright future for themselves and their families, and to develop the skills necessary to make that future a reality," said Rich Tuttle Tuttle may refer to:
