Arts Integration Project

The goal of the Arts Integration Project is to offer teachers in high-need San Mateo elementary schools high quality professional development that will help teachers integrate arts education in meaningful ways into their Language Arts curriculum. During this pilot year, three teachers from the 3rd grade team in one particular school are participating in a series of PD sessions throughout the year. The hope is that their work together on a team, under the guidance of a PD provider, will help them discover how visual arts can serve as a vehicle for student engagement and critical thinking in core content areas.
