Description: Good educators are constantly learning more about the
art of teaching, just as they continually consider new strategies
that engage all students in the learning process. This
workshop encourages collaboration as teachers explore strategies to
integrate a variety of fine arts experiences into middle school
communication arts courses. Using examples from classroom
literature, participants will approach the works from the
perspectives of drama, music and visual arts. Teachers will
learn arts integration strategies to assist students in reading
fluency, making connections, monitoring comprehension, and
increased engagement in their learning. Join Missouri Fine
Arts Academy coordinator Leatha Ault and MFAA faculty members Ray
Castrey (music), Steve Fielding (visual arts) and Gretchen Teague
(theatre arts) for this empowering workshop! NEW
