Studio STEAM-up Series! STEAM education and Dance
1 Min Read • STEAM
Next week will begin my Studio STEAM-up series.
This series will look at each of the STEAM disciplines, and offer creative ways to integrate them with dance. The focus will be the secondary national and common core standards for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics in partnership with the national standards for Dance. In addition to, keeping in mind that true integration involves linking the standards and assessments for each of the disciplines. Furthermore, we will look at lesson seeds, full lesson plans, assessments, and rubrics that connect dance with each of the STEAM subjects. Each installment will have multiple resources, and ready to use capacities for STEAM-ing up the dance studio. Additionally, bringing the dance studio to your STEAM education discipline.
Additionally, if you know you are teaching something in the upcoming year, and would like to compose a means for integrating it with dance please reply below or comment on our facebook with the concept, theme, and/or standard that you wish to integrate and together we can find a great way to bring the dance studio to your content!
