This session will focus on using the Arts as a lens through which we view the importance of cultural and linguistic connections English Learners make to the Arts. Participants will be receiving lessons to pilot in their classrooms and provide feedback on the content and structure. The participant’s role in this project will play an integral part in leveraging student assets and building into and from the content to provide full and meaningful access to 21st century skills, resulting in attaining high levels of language proficiency and mastery of grade-level standards in the arts and across other content areas. Participants utilizing the lessons and completing the accompanying reflection form will receive free books, teaching supplies, and/or arts supplies.
