Arts Integration is a powerful tool to unite educators, leveraging the incredible power of the arts. Benefits include increased student engagement, deeper connections to content with greater retention, greater relevance and meaning for all subjects.

In the Arts Integration approach to teaching

• students engage in the creative processes connected to an art form.

• Students construct and demonstrate understanding reflecting standards in both arts and non-arts content areas.

• Learning objectives may evolve and become more interconnected throughout the arts integration process.

• Optimally, instruction is designed and delivered collaboratively by certified arts and non-arts teachers and/or teaching artists.

• Both arts and non-arts standards are authentically assessed.
