My Project
Participating in the IAS Arts Integration Certification™ Program marks a transformative journey that promises to elevate my teaching effectiveness. This self-paced program equips educators to integrate the arts into their curriculum, fostering a holistic educational experience that prioritizes creativity, inclusivity, and dynamic learning. Navigating through four sprints—from foundational integration to leading change efforts—I anticipate a significant deepening of my ability to apply creative strategies in my teaching.

(All knowledge is not taught in the same school. One can learn from many sources.)
This certification will position me as a Certified Arts Integration Specialist, endorsed by an acclaimed program recognized for its rigor and relevance in today's educational landscape. With this certification, I aim to inspire my students to see the interdisciplinary connections between the arts and other subjects, thereby enhancing their engagement, achievement, and appreciation for the creative process.
The benefits to my students will be immeasurable. They will gain a richer educational experience that respects their individuality while pushing the boundaries of traditional learning. They will encounter a curriculum that inspires creativity, encourages critical thinking, and cultivates an environment where learning is a joyous and boundless adventure.
Ultimately, this certification reshapes the educational experience for my students, creating a classroom where learning is enlivened through the arts, ensuring they are not only academically successful but also equipped to think creatively in a rapidly changing world.
This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
