NEW! Laying a Foundation: Defining Arts Integration
*This workshop was developed by the
John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
|
Description:
Many professional development programs,
including the Kennedy Center's, are based on a philosophy
and practice of teaching called arts integration.
So, what is
arts integration? This session unpacks the Kennedy Center's
definition and gives you the opportunity to uncover the
characteristics of quality integration. In addition, the
session includes participation in an arts-integrated lesson
and examines how arts-integrated instruction aligns with
current learning principles and best practice. |
Audience: Administrators, arts
educators, and teachers of all grade levels.
Length: 3
hours |
Focusing on Arts Integration
*Effective as a stand
alone workshop or a companion to the above workshop.
|
Description:
What does arts
integration look like in practice? How does it impact lesson
design, instruction, and student learning? This workshop
investigates these questions through metaphor, hands on
activities, and discussion. Participants experience two
lessons combining one art form (drama) and one other
curricular area (language arts or social studies) to uncover
how best practice in arts integration affects teaching and
learning. Group discussion further sharpens the definition
of curricular integration by examining the role of standards
and strategies for meeting them. |
Audience: Arts educators and teachers of all grade levels.
Length: 3
hours |
