I love that you created this video. I am an ESE teacher and use The Arts to help my students with writing & reading (ELA), social skills, and building their confidence. Every year these students come to me so broken because they have been told they can't do things for so long they have just lost hope that they will be able to ever do anything. I have my students read assignments, write a skit about it and perform it, even if they just perform it for me, I can see how much they have retained - and they never even knew they read, wrote, edited, and presented subject matter. Kudos to you and all teachers who are using Arts Integration.
Thank you, Marilyn! We're so happy that you found this video helpful. We have a saying in our office - the arts change lives! And we absolutely belive that. 😊
Great video! I believe art integration is very important in the elementary classroom. My channel is all about art integration by subjects…along with special projects!
thanks for the tutorial.
Hi
Thank you~ I have an interview today at a STEAM-based school. You clarified the concept for me.
Great idea collage !
We should be collaborating...seems to be much synergy with our work. Sharing this video as the empowerment video for my network this week and I'll be looking forward to future content.
hi really good
Tinkering is activating imagination through technical play! 🤓
Great 💡.
Thinking is important-- questions are key. I wonder why?👋
excellent tutorial! I am so excited `cause I could Make this In my English Class :) My student will love
is it possible to email or share an examplar of your SGOs? i am struggling with this!
Excellent tutorial. Thanks!
It looks great! I want to try it? Do students need to create an account to access or they can use mine? Thanks!
Thank you! I'll definetely try it in my class.
hello! I am so happy I have found your channel and website. What someone can do to study or work on art integration? Are there any studies or courses? I m already an artist myself and I am on my way, building the idea of creating an educational space which integrates the arts in order to teach basic information - psychology, body functions, permaculture.. but I dont know where to start!
I am an undergraduate at Western Governors University, currently taking an Arts Integration/ Performing and Visual Arts Methods. Throughout my studies (personal and collegiate) I am finding that teaching subjects in isolation should be questioned (morally in my opinion) as it is the most inefficient way of teaching key concepts in primary and secondary schools. This research goes across EVERY "subject area" and EVERY student of diversity (e.g. ethnicity, English language learners, students with disabilities, etc.)....making MEANINGFUL CONNECTIONS is when we can really say we've "learned" something. Earlier I mentioned we have a moral imperative because 1) of all the research that shows how ineffective it is to teach subjects in isolation, without meaningful connections, and without visual/performing arts methods, and 2) "subject areas" are NOT isolated, they are integrated as you mentioned. For instance, you cannot truly understand Biology without Chemistry; you cannot understand history without sociology or logical reasoning; you cannot understand moral philosophy without physics, history, sociology, chemistry, etc. EVERYTHING connects one way or another. Are puzzle pieces relevant by themselves; some pieces might not directly connect to others, but eventually they do. *How does this have anything to do with Arts Integration in the STEM? Because there is a BIGGER picture, a BIGGER imperative....WHO will benefit from STEM? It depends...who holds the patent on technology (i.e. bio-engineering seeds that give corporations control of plant life; or machines that replace the need for employees)? Who has the best advantage (e.g. who has access to fossil fuels that powers international trade, taking advantage of child-labor in underdeveloped countries)? We MUST develop students who have a BROAD understanding of how the world operates, not just HOW things work, and how to make a PROFIT. STEM is a double-edge sword; it is destroying the planet, but getting it into the right hands (i.e. those who will put sustainable life BEFORE profit) may be our only hope. Loving, caring, appreciating, and valuing life, regardless of its form, is what Arts Integration can promote in STE-A-M. (I used CAPS because there is no italics option) Hope this adds a little to the conversation. :-)
You Rock!! I hope to use this explanation on my blog to explain a Creatubbles initiative! Great explanation!
Susan, crafting a definition that is clear and concise is imperative at this point. The ideas of what STEAM consists of are all over the place right now. Arts teachers who have only a vague idea are taking a step back. I agree with your statement and would ask where do you (any art or STEM teachers) feel that this type in integration within curriculum/content areas makes the most sense? There are so many more questions for the education community that start here with STEAM.
Kellie - I so agree! Where we are getting lost is in the definition of STEAM. There are so many different interpretations of this concept. From just integrating the design process to integrating all of the STEAM areas all of the time, to the difference between integration and enhancement, it's no wonder people are confused. I love your question, too and I think it's dependent upon what level of buy-in and understanding people have about the STEAM approach. For me, STEAM is appropriate when there is natural standards-alignment between any STEM area and the Arts. So for example, if there is an opportunity to teach math through the arts by connected standards, I think we need to explore that possibility and integrate whenever possible. Additionally, I think a very strong place to start is through the inquiry process, which transcends all content areas and acts as a natural binding agent. My question back to you is how to get more arts educators to truly understand STEAM so that they can be strong advocates of the approach? Additionally, how do we "weed out" what is STEAM and what is not? Lots to consider, I think!
Nice job! Many of the evaluation instruments have an indicator or two on collaboration with other teachers as well as inter-disciplinary work. This could be another selling point for doing these integrated SGO's. Thanks!
Thanks for that tutorial - it still moved a bit quickly for me but it was a fine introduction.
wonderful suggestions! Love what you're doing.
Love, Love, Love! I watched this 3 times this morning! Have so many ideas about sharing!
