EDUC 260 Movement, Arts, and Wellness in the Elementary Classroom (WB)
This course is designed to provide teacher candidates with an overview of and rationale for implementing an integrated curriculum. Specifically, this course explores the integration of embodied learning: movement and physical activity, the visual (art) and performing arts (dance, music, theater), and wellness (mindfulness, health) into the K-8 classroom. Teacher candidates will consider how to integrate the aforementioned areas into core content lessons (mathematics, science, social studies, ELA), socioemotional and character development, relationships and collaboration, cultural and self-awareness, and classroom culture/management, all with the intention to enhance learning and promote student engagement.
