Brain science tells us that effective learning happens when our emotions are engaged and that students who are feeling stress, anxiety, or experience trauma in their lives face huge barriers to learning. How can teaching in and through the arts help engage students’ emotions and develop social emotional intelligence? 

Join us for two days of dance, theater, and visual arts lessons infused with social emotional learning. Engage in ready-to-use strategies for teaching these critical life skills through PreK-5 integrated arts learning.

Who Should Attend This Conference? 

Whether you have been infusing the arts into your teaching for years or are just beginning to explore arts integration, Arts Impact’s annual Arts Infusion conference is relevant for PreK-8 classroom teachers, arts specialists, school counselors and administrators. All Arts Impact lessons align with relevant WA State Arts Standards, Common Core State Standards and Next Generation Science Standards, Social Emotional Learning Benchmarks, as well as WA State Early Learning Guidelines through Grade 3.
