Arts integration practices have been proven to have a positive impact on student development, student achievement, and school climate. This session will provide a contemporary vision of how arts integration can improve school culture and deepen the learning process for students. The workshop will act as a framework for implementing arts integration within diverse educational contexts. Activities will focus on defining qualities, best practices, and professional development strategies, and hands-on, guided planning time. Participants will be provided with background information on arts integration, as well as a blueprint for building a quality STEAM program and recommendations for implementation.
