Abstract:
Our mission was to co-design a replicable and flexible theatre arts integration template that activated both arts and non-arts-standards with thoughtful consideration of assessment. As we worked together, we developed a draft that would gel the State mandates with the best practices in the arts. To do this, we leveraged the resources that were available. We anchored to the models provided in the NJ’s Arts Integration Think and Do Workbook (2018, 2020), and we wove in the threads that are embedded in the NJ Student Learning Standards: Career Readiness, Life Literacies, and Key Skills (2020) and themes from the Partnership for 21st Century Learning’s (2009) Framework for 21st Century Skills.
