Universal Design for Learning and the Arts in K-12 Classrooms

3 credits · Graduate

The premise of Universal Design for Learning and the Arts in K-12 Classrooms resides in the belief that teaching and learning through the arts deepens content understanding, enriches personal experience, and creates a variety of culturally relevant points through which students may enter, contribute and make meaning of and communicate their own learning. Here “the arts” refers to the broad field of visual and performing arts. The readings, in-class dialogue and arts experiences are designed to promote your active, embodied engagement in the practical application of arts modalities in the classroom. (TPE 1.7)
