Norris Elementary School

The Arts360 grant program supports whole-school arts integration programs to improve instruction and increase student outcomes through arts integration. Arts360 brings teachers full circle, as learners, collaborators, facilitators, and reflectors by making arts-based and arts integrated learning a critical component of every child’s educational experience.

Arts integration is a method of teaching that supports learning both in and through the arts. Teachers of non-arts subjects work alongside arts specialists and teaching artists to create collaborative lesson plans that infuse creativity into learning. The curriculum standards and objectives of arts and non-arts subjects are connected seamlessly to strengthen understanding in multiple content areas.
