The Program/What You Will Learn
Become an Artist in Residence in your own classroom by learning to use the visual arts as a means to create a thematic unit of instruction. Reach all types of students by implementing this model for differentiated instruction. Art experiences will revolve around an integrated theme that serves as the bridge to connect students to the core curriculum. This workshop will focus on: making standards-based instruction meaningful through practical application, mapping your curriculum, building the foundation pieces for your theme, and developing the individual lessons that culminate in an entire unit of thematic instruction.
