Fall Semester: This course aims to enhance teacher expertise and infuse joy and playful student learning experiences by emphasizing a transdisciplinary approach to arts integration. This start-with-arts approach increases student engagement in all content areas, i.e., science, mathematics, English language arts, and social studies. It will feature pre-existing and newly crafted arts-integrated strategies and lesson plans built around the Studio Habits of Mind (Hogan, Hetland, Jaquith & Winner, 2018). Teachers will engage in book studies, hands-on collaborative activities, collaborative planning, and reflection processes to deepen teachers' understanding and implementation of transdisciplinary arts integration. Out-of-class learning activities require approximately 6 hours per week, which includes classroom implementation of course content.
