ArtCore Learning Modules
AN IMMERSIVE ARTS-INTEGRATION MODEL FOR MIDDLE SCHOOLS
ArtCore was a 4-year model development and research initiative that joined community-based teaching artists and creative professionals with middle school teachers to develop arts-based teaching and learning customized to meet the needs and goals of the school.
“ArtCore is based on the notion that we are all inherently creative. We each have something significant to contribute, in a way that uniquely defines us. This is exactly the type of transformative work that will engage students in learning.”
As part of my work with ArtCore, I gathered research and designed the ArtCore Modules. ArtCore modules are inspired by big ideas, driven by essential questions, and connected to core subject areas by weaving creative engagement, artistic principles, and the studio habits of mind throughout. With purposeful alignment to national and state academic and arts standards, ArtCore modules foster engaging instruction rooted in the assessment of student learning.
