NC Standards Academy & MLs Summer Conference (East)

No matter how you say it, “Art” reaches across languages and geography. Yet, the instructional language of arts education is often overlooked when placing newcomers into these courses. It is essential to have resources and tools necessary to meet the needs of our English Learners. Learn how to read an EL plan, navigate the NC ELD Standards to support the Arts Education Standards, apply required individual modifications to existing lessons, and familiarize yourself with the crosswalks of the 2020 WIDA Framework with NC Arts Standards to help make every student successful.

This session will assist administrators and educators in deeply examining the common framework of the four artistic process strands of Connect, Create, Present, and Respond, the eight standards and 16 learning objective throughlines in Dance, Music, Theatre, and Visual Arts. Participants will gain an understanding of how the new structure of the standards promotes interdisciplinary connections between the arts disciplines and other academic content.
