The development and initial psychometric investigation of the Hocus Focus Analytics (HFA) Scale, an instrument to measure student growth and outcomes using an arts-integrated teaching approach, is reported. A 15-item instrument consisting of five subscales (cognitive, motor, communication, social skills and creativity) was developed to measure the outcomes of students (n = 31) with disabilities through the performance of four different magic tricks. The performance of each trick was assessed by the students' teachers (n = 4) at four different times for a total of 124 completed assessments using the HFA Scale. Results of the present study offer initial support for the psychometric properties of the HFA Scale. Internal consistency as measured by Cronbach's alpha was .91 for the total scale. The authors discuss the importance of using an instrument to measure student progress through a multidisciplinary, arts-integrated curriculum and future research implications. An arts-rich environment produces a setting conducive for learning, and, consequently, students of all abilities thrive (Brown & Vaughan, 2009; Eisner, 2004; Fiske, 1999). Considering what is known about multiple intelligences (Gardner, 1993) and alternate ways of learning, the arts serve as an ideal vehicle to impart knowledge to a wide variety of students, including those with diverse learning needs. According to Gerber and Horoschak (2012), "The arts have always provided a visual, auditory, or movement approach to learning and they use sensory modalities that reinforce concepts and teach to the students' strengths" (p. 125). The National Art Education Association (NAEA, 2010) has an equally compelling position on the value of early childhood art education, stating that it is essential to early learning. According to the NAEA (2010), the arts (1) support multiple ways of knowing and learning that are inherent in the unique nature of each child; (2) empower children to communicate, represent, and express their thoughts, feelings and perceptions; (3) offer opportunities to develop creativity, imagination, and flexible thinking; and (4) can enrich a young child's understanding of diverse cultures. The Multidimensional Value of an Arts Education Widely known for his contributions to art education, Elliot Eisner was an unrelenting advocate for arts programs in schools. In his book, The Arts and the Creation of the Mind (2002), he expounded on the importance of the arts and their ability to develop thinking skills in children. Intrinsic to the arts is the construct that diversity, ambiguity, and variability are not only accepted, but encouraged. Eisner wrote, The arts teach children that problems can have more than one solution and that questions can have more than one answer. The arts celebrate diversity. The arts celebrate multiple conceptions of virtue. They teach that there are many ways to see and interpret the world and that people can look through more than one window. Furthermore, this lesson is seldom taught in schools (p 9). When students are encoura...
