Online Course: Art and Literacy (Open through August 12) (event)

This course runs from June 17 through August 12.

How can art be used to develop student growth in literacy skills? This self-paced online course explores methods for integrating art and literacy strategies to support North Carolina’s Literacy Instruction Standards across classrooms. Participants gain an understanding of how literacy is defined through a variety of lenses. Strategies that incorporate NCMA works of art are used to practice and apply activities to build interpretive and expressive modes of literacy focused on a variety of reading materials, comprehension, vocabulary building, and writing.

Educators will:

• Be able to define literacy through a variety of disciplinary lenses.
• Be able to recognize opportunities and practice strategies for integrating art and literacy instruction that support NC Literacy Instruction Standards.
• Design a lesson or a set of lessons that support literacy through arts integration based on the needs of educators’ classrooms.
• Reflect within a collaborative peer learning community and create curricular connections with the North Carolina Museum of Art’s collection.

This course is designed for teachers of all disciplines and audiences. A certificate of participation for 10 hours will be provided (1 CEU, with prior approval from the local school system).

Registration will open soon!
