Use creative arts to spark meaningful learning.
In this unique program, you'll learn teaching strategies to help learners demonstrate understanding of academic content through a variety of art forms. You'll develop skills to integrate arts—and the joy of the arts—into the K-12 curriculum, using theories and practices of arts integration, pedagogy, assessment, and more.
You'll use new concepts to design engaging arts-integrated curriculum. Explore creative methods that will help your students meet local and national standards. And develop working knowledge of arts disciplines, including music, visual art, poetry, storytelling, drama, and creative movement. At the same time, you'll use self-reflection to discover your ability to create, become more expressive, and think of yourself as a creative person.
Come study where you and your faculty will co-construct new knowledge and practices, and where the importance of equity and social justice is woven throughout your study. You'll benefit from the reputation of a school with exceptional programs in Massachusetts, where school principals prefer to hire Lesley graduates and believe they're the most prepared for the classroom.
