CCSS and Arts Integration
Arts Integration is an approach to teaching in which students construct and demonstrate understanding through an art form. Students engage in a creative process that connects an art form and another subject, meeting objectives in both content areas. Many teachers are using arts integration as a strategy for teaching 21st century skills and meeting the goals of the Common Core Standards.
