Connecting through Standards

One of the hallmarks of arts integration is the connection to standards. You really need to understand these connections in order to have a true arts integration lesson. This lesson is also going to be a big support for your sprint project, which is to create your own set of curriculum maps.  So you’ll want to pay close attention for how to do that in this training.

Here is what we’re covering in this lesson:

• What are we talking about when we say standards connection and how that makes a difference between arts enhancement and integration.
• How the standards are built on practices as well as ways in which these practices allow for the easy integration in and in through the arts
• The key connecting areas to look for within the standards and practices.
