Common Core & Arts Integration
-
Arts Integration is an approach to teaching in which students construct and demonstrate understanding through an art form. Students engage
in a creative process that connects an art form and another subject, meeting objectives in both content areas. Many teachers are using
arts integration as a strategy for teaching 21st century skills and
meeting the goals of the Common Core Standards.Arts Education Resource Links
