Connective Learning Opportunities between the Arts and Common Core
Connective Learning Opportunities - How to integrate Common Core and the Arts with integrity - through the PRACTICES embedded within all Standards!
IB/PYP/MYP
International Baccalaureate, Primary Years Programme and Middle Years Programme (IB/PYP/MYP) are approaches grounded in asking meaningful questions. Many of these questions are the same as ones that artists have been asking for generations. Who are we? Why are we here? How do we effect change? By connecting IB/PYP/MYP and Arts Integration, students are able to bring their unique point of view to any complex issue.
