Teachers have the opportunity to experience the artistic process that their students are engaged in, enabling them to develop a deeper understanding of the work and better support their students as learners.
In arts integration workshops the arts become the approach to teaching and the vehicle for learning. Students meet dual learning objectives when they engage in the creative process to explore connections between an art form and another subject area to gain greater understanding in both.
These workshops offer both theory and tangible strategies for creating equitable learning environments through ArtsConnection’s Liberated Learning Framework – Community Building, Cultural Humility, Student Agency, and Responsive Planning – with hands-on artistic experiences, reflection, and application.
ArtsConnection has a long history of partnering with D75 schools and self-contained classrooms designing residencies that engage all students. AC’s approach offers all students and their teachers a new pathway to achievement, providing a “way in” to engagement and success for many children who learn best through alternative modalities.
ArtsConnection is a proud co-creator of GIVE: a free guide that supports Teaching Artists (TAs) in the creation of liberated learning environments and vibrant arts experiences within inclusion settings.
