2026 Elevated Teaching Summit

Want to bring the benefits of music and visual art into your elementary classroom, but feel unsure of where to begin? You aren't alone! This hands-on session breaks down the barriers to arts integration for general elementary educators by using a familiar and beloved tool: children's literature. In a supportive, scaffolded environment, we will explore:
--Simple, engaging activities inspired by picture books that require no prior musical or artistic training.
--Practical tips for seamlessly connecting visual art, music, and literacy to your existing core curriculum.
--Proven strategies to build your own creative confidence while boosting student engagement.
Leave feeling equipped and empowered to make the arts a regular, stress-free part of your classroom day!
