5. Use Arts Integration to Enhance Common Core

Integration requires a lot from teachers who decide to take on this challenge. Collaboration, research, intentional alignment, and practical application are the main things involved in integration. From the students perspective they have to be creative, have problem-solving skills, perseverance, collaboration, and the ability to work through the demands of multiple ideas and concepts put together to create the final product. There are two ways in which the integration approach is through, those two ways are STEM and Arts Integration. Most things nowadays are sold and presented to use in art form, things that have a high visual impact. Giving students this same type of art in learning helps them get a better perspective.

I think using Arts Integration to enhance the Common Core is a good idea. Children learn better when they have more hands on activities and higher visuals on the material. It is good that when teachers use this approach they can ensure that students are learning in a way that meets their own unique cultural, social, emotional and intellectual needs. This Art Integration approach give a pathway for many opportunitites for the students and teachers.
