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 and apply their learning by developing a lesson plan. 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. This course is designed for teachers of all disciplines and audiences. A certificate of participation for 20 hours will be provided for literacy, general, or content area credits (2 CEU, with prior approval from the local school system).
