Where am I heading with arts and arts education?

What? I really enjoyed this class. It really helped me see that there are so many was to teach something and include the arts. They really enhance a lesson, the students really enjoy them, and because of that they remember what was learned longer.

So What? Learning through the arts is so important. Some students learn better this way. Students can also express themselves better. The retain the information they learned longer because it was such an enjoyable experience. I also liked teaching with arts better. I feel like there is always room to include the arts in your lesson plan.

Now what? I am going to be sure and teach using all the stuff I learned in this class in my future class. I really like all of the helpful tools I received in this class and I can not wait to try them all out. I just need to remember how important teaching the arts are even if my school and others do not.
