Think about what you have learned so far through reading, discussion and class activities and reflect on how your ideas might have changed, things you want to learn about teaching (with, in, about, through) the arts, and why they are important in the education of every child.
It has been clear to me through the last few lessons just how important it is for every student to have the opportunity to take part in the arts, and how important it is for us as teachers to make that possible through integration in all subjects. I have always enjoyed the arts in different ways in my life throughout my life, but I never realized how many studies have shown what an academic difference it can make to the child. It makes me really excited to make this a part of my lesson plans because then it won't just be something that I have a passion for but actually something that I know the students need.
