The document discusses the integration of arts with Common Core State Standards (CCSS), emphasizing the importance of teaching all subjects through the lens of artistic practices. It highlights components of effective teaching, including collaboration with various stakeholders, curriculum development around central themes, and innovative assessment methods. Additionally, it encourages educators to plan flexibly while embracing their roles as facilitators in the learning environment.

1. How Arts Integration Lives
in Your Classroom = CCSS

2. Focusing Your Work with the CCSS
 CCSS requires we write about all subject matter = ELA is addressed across all
content
 Initial points of connection between ELA and CCSS include
Anchor Standards = Career & College readiness… = 5 C’s
5 C’s = communication, collaboration, creativity, critical thinking and cultural
inclusion. This happens in the VAPA Standards and with the AEMP
Reading, Writing, Speaking & Listening and Language are named topics for ELA….
This can all happen implementing VAPA Standards.
