Arts Group Launches Web Site for Teachers

Share

Arts Integration Solutions, the education services arm of the Opening Minds through the Arts Foundation (OMA), has launched an interactive arts integration training and resources Web site for teachers, artists and school teams.

"Our mission is to help teachers use the arts to improve student learning in all subjects," said Arts Integration Solutions' Education Services Director Sara Stewart. "Math, science, reading, writing, even the STEM subjects — they all need the arts to engage students in the love of learning."

The OMA Foundation is a longtime developer of arts integration programming in Southern Arizona. Now, through Arts Integration Solutions, the foundation is bringing arts integration training and school programming partnerships to schools across the nation.

"Every child deserves to have the arts in every classroom, every day, helping them succeed in math, science, literacy...and life," said Donn Poll, the Executive Director of the OMA Foundation and CEO of Arts Integration Solutions. "We're working hard to spread arts integration like wildfire through schools that need more than ever to help all students succeed. Every child can be engaged with the arts, and not many programs can claim to reach every child."

Peer blogs, a database of sample classroom lessons, downloadable and print resources, and a clearinghouse of best practices are all planned for the site.
