3 Credits|8 Weeks|$1275

Discover strategies for embedding literacy practices into the art room to elevate students’ communication, comprehension, and creative problem-solving skills!  In this course, participants will critically evaluate literacy methodologies and frameworks. They will refine literacy methods to integrate reading, writing, visual, digital, and verbal literacy skills into their curriculum. Through multimodal activities, participants will design arts-based activities that promote critical thinking, language development, and interdisciplinary connections, including developing tailored assessment tools to measure literacy growth. Reimaging perspectives and approaches, participants will leave this course with a practical, concrete roadmap for literacy integration.
