ED 250 - Integrating Art and Creativity Into the Classroom

This course is designed to provide students with a general overview of the theory and practice of an integrated arts curriculum for elementary and secondary classroom teaching. Using a hands-on approach, students will incorporate the use of visual arts, music, poetry, and drama across a variety of academic content areas such as reading, math, social studies and science. In addition to developing a mini-curricular unit that integrates several artistic modalities, students will be encouraged to explore how the inclusion of the arts can strengthen learning outcomes for elementary-age students
