Stuff what I found

OK, here's just a few of the sites and documents I turned up.

Arts Integration Solutions Assessment Guide

This one's a PDF document from the same folks who sponsored our mime, et. al. workshop. It's got a good overall mission statement, rubrics, lesson samples, and student self-assessments.

TeachArts.org

This website is put out by the Fresno County Office of Education. There's a lot here worth looking at. Lessons from K-12, video resources (not all about AI, but good nonetheless, esp. Austin's Butterfly), ideas for units of study, and more. I really liked this one.

Edutopia Lesson Plans and Resources for Arts Integration

Edutopia is what George Lucas does with his money now that he's not making Star Wars prequels (and thank the Force for that). There are AI lessons here too, focused on middle school. What I found most useful were the professional development documents on subjects such as artful thinking, writing and the visual arts, and art history. Good resources for those of us without the background in visual arts.

Common Core and the Arts

This one's from the Arts Education Partnership, an inter-agency group that started with the National Endowment for the Arts and the Department of Education. It's a good overall site for understanding Common Core and how the arts can be integrated in and enhance the CCSS standards for math and ELA.

Peace y'all.
