The Positive Influences Art Integration and Content Integration has on Students Learning Needs

Abstract

This paper examines the role art integration and content integration has on students' learning outcomes within the classroom. With the changing standards of New York State and the Common Core implications for teaching, art and content integration provides students with the potential to be successful both in and out of the classroom. Through the use of the literature review, exemplar lesson plans, my own personal experiences using integrated lesson plans, non-integrated and integrated lesson plan ideas, this paper provides a unique, supplemental resource for teachers to guide them to successful integrated lesson plans. By doing this both teachers and students will have greater success in and out of the classroom.
