Is it Arts Integration or STEAM?

One of the most frequently asked questions is whether the course uses artistic integration or the STEAM approach. Finding the difference is definitely a challenge, especially when terms are almost interchangeable.

However, there are some differences between art integration and STEAM. Understanding them helps take a big step in creating and implementing best practices in the classroom. Today, I download similarities and differences for free, so that I can clearly understand when to use each content of the course. If you are looking for ideas on how to create this work, please check the Art Conference and STEAM online meeting. This is a completely online event, it takes 10 PD hours to participate.

Art promotion, art integration, and STEAM ... Where do you start? Each of these methods is suitable for various purposes in the classroom. This is just a matter of determining which one is right for your course. This is a one-page downloadable guide for printing and using during planning.

Sometimes it's easier when someone walks around with you and jumps into some new ideas as it comes to the course. That's why I started a new episode called "Lesson Builder" on the smART Ideas video series, and I hope that you will join it.

That's why our organization EducationCloset is proud to offer semi-annual online art integration and STEAM conference. Every year in July and February, more than 1,500 teachers, leaders and artists discuss best practices in integrating art. However, what we are most excited about is the kind of professional development that occurs in these activities. Here are some ways this PD can change the rules of the game for the teacher: Since the whole meeting is online, the teacher can enjoy the flexibility we frequently offer to the students I will. Our professional educators should get the same trust and understanding. While sitting outside the pool and working with the other staff at the school's media center, I asked the teacher to attend the meeting while watching their art and music classroom while traveling on the street.
