SESSION
The Arts as a Vehicle for Relevant & Inclusive Teaching Across Content Areas
The arts provide a powerful vehicle for meaningful, relevant, and inclusive teaching across all subjects. This session explores how arts integration fosters student engagement, deepens learning, and promotes equity by connecting instruction to students’ lived experiences. Educators will gain practical strategies to use music, drama, visual arts, and dance to create meaningful, learning experiences connected to relevant, real-world experiences in non-arts content areas.
