  19. State Board Policy TCP-B-002 Standard 5 of the Birth-Kindergarten specialty standard (2009): • B-K teacher candidates “create and adapt environments and intentionally plan and implement an integrated curriculum that facilitates every child’s construction of knowledge and provides a strong foundation for lifelong learning.” • In the Emergent Creative Arts, B-K teacher candidates must: • facilitate children’s creative expression through dance/creative movement, drama, music, and visual arts; • use the arts to represent ideas;
