Abstract	This conference report argues that folk arts, which are transmitted informally by community word of mouth and example, represent the core culture of the community. Since a central goal for education is to prepare students to understand, live in, and contribute to their culture, the traditional folk arts represent valuable classroom resources. They are a cross disciplinary arts component of a child-centered education. This concise summary of proceedings from the conference includes recommendations of the National Task Force on Folk Arts in Education, especially calling for a more prominent role for folk and traditional arts in federal and state education policy. The report concludes with lists of participants and key organizations as resources. (MM)
