Upper Peninsula Teaching & Learning Conference - 2026

Arts integration isn't new, but often general education teachers don't know where to start. However, we are potentially doing some of our students a disservice by not doing so. Within this session, I will hopefully help you learn that arts integration is as scary or difficult as it may seem. I will also go over an example of integrating art with language arts. Through the use of shoes, students design something that represents them while talking about qualities that make them uniquely themselves. I will also talk about the importance of arts integration and briefly touch on ways of grading it.
