This website has been created in order to help teachers integrate the Arts into their teaching. Teaching with the Arts is a wonderful thing and there are many benefits for students!

Students who learn different Art forms tend to benefit because they develop the following skills:

 

creative thinking, 

fluency in thought, 

originality,

focused perception,

imagination,

risk taking,

task persistence,

and ownership in learning. 

 

The benefits from learning with the Arts are tremendous and many teachers find it is a daunting task to effectively teach The Arts. This website is designed to show teachers how they can teach with the Arts and do not need to be an expert in any one or all Art forms to do so. 

 

The site contains an example unit plan as well as links to many helpful website for developing unit plans or lessons. Any and all suggestions are welcome and we would be glad to post the work of anyone else who would like to share how they have integrated teaching with the Arts.
