Description:

Arts and the Common Core: Integrating with Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts                        

This session is presented by the A+ Schools Program of the North Carolina Arts Council. Schools in the A+ Network use the arts as a catalyst for creating connections and making schools engaging, meaningful and enjoyable places to teach and learn.

At this session we will:

-Imagine the possibilities when you bring the arts - visual arts, dance, theatre and music - together with Common Core State Standards for English-Language Arts.

-Investigate strategies for engaging your students in deep and meaningful processes as they creatively explore connections between the arts and the non-arts content.

-Construct lesson plans and gather ideas and resources for enhancing your language arts instruction.

-Reflect on your comfort with the arts and build your tool box of instructional strategies that support arts integration.


Audience:
“Arts and the Common Core” is open to ALL K-8 educators and administrators (not just those in the arts disciplines) and is particularly tailored to the non-arts classroom teacher with practical strategies for integrating the arts across the ELA standards.
