Integrating the Arts to Improve Learning 2024-25

One of the most effective ways to foster whole-child instruction is to integrate the arts (visual art, drama, and movement) into the content area curriculum. This course will provide proven strategies to incorporate arts-based exercises into your instructional toolkit. You will also explore research-based teaching practices that improve comprehension and long-term retention. Discover how the arts provide depth, form, and solidity as students learn complex content and help hard-wire facts into working memory!

Learning Intentions:

• Understand the difference between arts integration vs arts enhanced learning
• Learn about the scientific basis for implementing arts integration
• Gather resources and strategies for supporting student success through arts integration
