Why arts integration? • What kind of citizens would we like our students to become? • Think, Pair, Share • Shift Happens video. • What do these stats mean for our students and teaching?
Constructivist Theory Argument 1--Critical/Creative Thinking • “What is learned cannot be separated from the context it is learned in” • What does this mean for us as educators?
Argument 2--Deepens Understanding • Most effective strategies for retention: • Focus on relationality • compare and contrast • Examples and Non-Examples • Reconceptualization • metaphor/ simile • Information is stored both linguistically and non-linguistically. • Create verbal and non-verbal representations of new words for best retention. • Understanding relationships between two subjects matches how the brain holds information. We categorize what we know. Relationality embedded in instruction delivery helps solidify new information with schema. • telling versus showing/experiencing.
Schema Example: Learning Through Arts Integration • What is schema? • Schema Demonstration. • integrates movement/dance/drama
