If you're serious about Arts Integration and STEAM

You already know why most efforts stall.

Most Arts Integration and STEAM programs don't survive more than one to three years on their own. Here's what typically happens.

One-and-done PD

A trainer comes in for a day or two. There's no follow-up, so the strategies fade by winter break.

Buy, buy, buy

STEAM kits and consumables charge per student, per project, per year. Then the budget runs out.

No measurable gains

You get fun projects but not academic results, and without support it quietly stops taking hold.

What works in today's schools?Connected curriculum, resources, and PD.

What's inside the hub

Everything you need in one place.

Lessons, resources, accredited PD, and an AI coach that all work together, so the training to teach a lesson and the resources to support it are right where you need them.

The Accelerator lesson library
Lessons

Standards-aligned lessons, K‑12

Every lesson connects curriculum content to an arts discipline with standards alignment already done. No more searching at 9pm. No more wondering if it meets your requirements.

  • Cross-curricular: Math, ELA, Science with Visual Art, Music, Dance, Theatre
  • Done-for-you assessments, PowerPoints, and student response sheets
  • Scope and sequence for year-long planning
  • State standards crosswalks included
  • Connected to a PD workshop so you learn the technique before you teach it

"The lessons are strongly-aligned and the results have been outstanding."Norris Elementary, TN

  • Smart lesson matching: get lessons that align to what you're teaching
  • One-click scheduling: add a match to your planner instantly

Questions?

Frequently asked

Is this another course I have to finish?

No. The Accelerator is a hub, not a course. Pull a lesson when you need one, watch a 20-minute workshop between classes, or ask the AI Coach for custom materials. No start date, no deadline, no required sequence.

How is the Creativity Coach different from ChatGPT?

It's trained specifically on our proprietary Arts Integration frameworks, standards crosswalks, and 15 years of curriculum. It generates standards-aligned lessons, assessments, and resources grounded in tested methodology. A general AI tool cannot do that. The Creativity Coach is included in the Plus and Pro plans.

Is the Accelerator right for me?

It's built for K-12 classroom teachers, arts teachers, and STEAM coordinators. Whether you're just starting or have years of experience, the hub and the Coach adapt to what you need.

Can I see samples before I join?

Yes. You can preview full lessons, PD, and resources before you commit. We want you confident this fits your classroom first.

What if I want to cancel?

Cancel anytime with one click from your dashboard. No calls, no emails. Monthly plans stop immediately. Annual plans cancel future renewals.

Can my school use a purchase order?

Yes. Schools and districts can submit a PO through our inquiry form or call (443) 293-5851 for a custom quote. Discounts start at groups of 10 or more.
