Welcome!
If you have come here it is because you are a educator, an artist, an arts enthusiast or a presenter interested in knowing more about how the arts can be integrated across the school curriculum to help children learn! Our purpose is to help teaching professionals understand how the arts can be used everyday in the classroom to help make learning more interesting, more engaging, more permanent and more fun!
We are here to share ideas, techniques, experiences, trials, tribulations, triumphs and success stories! We are here to learn from teaching artists, other teachers, arts presenters, administrators, and anyone else who can contribute to our thoughts about arts integration.
So, here's the plan! Come to learn, come to share, come to care. Be supportive. Be inventive. Ask questions. Offer answers. Enter our forum for growth. The basic concepts that we share have been proven to increase test scores in arts integrated schools and to offer a different way of learning to students who need to do more than just sit in a chair.
All the best,
Team Leader
About Me
- Laura
- Hi! As assistant director of an arts presenting organization for a major university one of my duties is to direct educational outreach activities for K-12. As part of that outreach we formed a partnership with a school system and became members of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Partners in Education Program. This program offers professional development for teachers in arts integration, and this is how I became familiar with this approach to teaching. This blog is to help teachers become more aware of the arts integration method and to provide a place where teachers can come to seek out resources, share with colleagues and talk about arts integration. I want to hear from any teacher who is using arts integration in the classroom. I'll be posting your comments, lesson plans, whatever you want to share, along with other resources that I find on this journey. I hope that you will come to this place with an open mind and an open heart that wants to share what you know for the education of kids everywhere! Thanks! Laura
