Suggestions for Integrating the Arts into Curriculum

Abstract

This article is written by three faculty mentors involved in Transforming Education Through the Arts (TETAC), which present our involvement in a 5-year effort to help reform five public school in Ohio by integrating the arts onto the curriculum. in 1998, the National TETAC Task force for Curriculum developed guidlines for curriculum around the arts. As Ohio TETAC mentors, we found those guidelines inappropriate for our work with our site schools. Our vision was more in line with a comprehensive integated curriculum that explored themes and issues driven by site-specific needs then the former Getty DBAE model that some national TETAC schools favored at this time. Therefore, we created suggestions for developing integrated curriculum where the arts included. These suggestions are not ontended to be rule-bound or prescriptive but are for developing, implementing, and assessing integrated curricula. Although we are arts educator, we believe that the suggestions are useful for all subject areas.
