Designed for those without previous art training, the course guides teachers in the exploration of the use of the visual arts, music, dance, drama, and literature to teach academic skills. Class members will examine the theory, philosophy, and research that support the integration of the arts into the basic curriculum for increased academic achievement. Study will include the effects on the affective, behavioral, cognitive, and social development of the learner. In addition to highlighting school and community resources, instruction will enable students to create lessons for integrating the arts into any content area on any grade level. Arts specialists who work in the school system will be invited from each area.
