As the Hispanic population continues to grow, schools receive greater numbers of students who are native or heritage speakers of Spanish who come to us with diverse cultural backgrounds and widely varying linguistic abilities. This workshop will address the variation found within this population as well as information on the contributions they bring to the classroom. We will discuss ways to create a positive environment where Hispanic students feel welcomed and comfortable, regardless of background or prior language knowledge.
Have you ever asked yourself what exactly arts integration means? Have you ever wondered how you could implement both visual and performing arts regularly in your classroom? Our workshop provides an overview of what arts integration looks like. We will also share sample lesson plans and teaching tips. Participants will create an arts integrated lesson or improve one so that you will return to your classroom ready to integrate the arts in to your teaching.
