What is Arts Integration? A Guide for K-12 Schools.

What is arts integration and is it effective in K-12 schools? This video shares a clear definition, and examples of the approach in action. View the accompanying resource here: artsintegration.com/what-is-a...
Arts integration is often misunderstood in the education community. Some are concerned that the approach will replace arts educators and arts programs with a diluted version of arts and crafts. But that couldn't be further from the truth.
When the approach is implemented correctly, arts programs flourish, more arts educators are hired and classroom teachers are able to teach with more creativity and connection. Arts integration can actually save teachers time through direct connections with curricular standards. Teachers can use arts integration lessons to more effectively teach difficult concepts and skills.

I love that you created this video. I am an ESE teacher and use The Arts to help my students with writing & reading (ELA), social skills, and building their confidence. Every year these students come to me so broken because they have been told they can't do things for so long they have just lost hope that they will be able to ever do anything. I have my students read assignments, write a skit about it and perform it, even if they just perform it for me, I can see how much they have retained - and they never even knew they read, wrote, edited, and presented subject matter. Kudos to you and all teachers who are using Arts Integration.

Great video! I believe art integration is very important in the elementary classroom. My channel is all about art integration by subjects…along with special projects!
