Description
Integrating the arts into the curriculum has proven highly effective in meeting the unique learning needs of gifted students. Yet, the arts remain under-used as catalysts for the imagination and creative thinking of highly able students. Designed for classroom teachers, this workshop enables participants to apply and adapt arts practices to address the learning needs of gifted students in language arts, social studies, and science. Through a range of resources and creative strategies shared by the facilitator, classroom teachers gain a practical understanding of how to integrate art processes into the curriculum to enhance imagination, invention, and higher-level thinking.
