If You’re Serious About Arts Integration and STEAM…

…then you need the teacher created resources in this all-in-one platform. Why? Because most arts integration and STEAM efforts don’t last more than 1-3 years on their own.

Here’s what typically happens:

  • Teachers or schools start an arts integration or STEAM effort with a pilot group or some grant money…
  • The school brings in trainers for 1-2 days of professional development (with little to no follow up)…
  • You might invest in a few teaching artists to come in for a week (these are great, but then school goes back to “normal”)…
  • You’ve got some good arts integration strategies, but students aren’t showing measurable academic gains and you can’t understand why…
  • With little support and follow-through, arts integration or STEAM just isn’t taking hold with your school…

Sound familiar?

This is SO common and it’s frustrating because arts integration and STEAM can be an extremely effective way to connect creative skills and curriculum requirements. When used strategically, students can see up to 20% improvement in academic measurements and 5% or more increased attendance.

This is why we’ve created the Accelerator. We’ve combined standards-aligned curriculum, accredited professional development, and premium teacher resources to provide you with scalable and sustainable support for your arts integration and STEAM efforts.
