I can't say enough great things about this website. It is all I could want in cross curricular art education. Arts only survive in education when we can show how it supports the curriculum.

It's Merriam-Webster! The online version of the dictionary I show when my students are off task on their Chromebooks! I like this because it shows all the different definitions of a word so students can see how words have multiple meanings depending on context. It doesn't get more standards aligned than this!

California Arts Standards for Public Schools, Prekindergarten Through Grade Twelve

The State Board of Education (SBE) adopted the California Arts Standards for Public Schools, Prekindergarten Through Grade Twelve ( Arts Standards) on January 9, 2019. To download the publication version of the standards, select the link below.

Support for Planning Remote Arts Education Instruction

During the pandemic, some in-person activities associated with performing arts courses (dance, music, and theatre), such as groups practicing and performing, may sometimes not be possible. Despite this, instruction can continue to focus on the 2019 California Arts Standards associated with the artistic processes of creating, responding, and connecting, and students can continue to practice for performances during independent applied learning time. Educators may also consider how to approach rehearsal and performances through shared technology platforms and other innovative approaches. On April 14, 2021, the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) issued new guidance including industry-specific guidance for Outdoor Seated Live Events and Performances (PDF) and Indoor Seated Live Events and Performances (PDF). These documents include guidance for rehearsals, which may also be useful for schools and districts. Please note that CDPH guidance is subject to change as conditions evolve.

I know, I know it's open source. It's unreliable and dubious! But, it's a start. This is a good starting point, and teach students to use the references and how to check for reliability and you have just given a lesson in digital citizenship. You're welcome. Start here and move to credible sources. Wikipedia is meant to be a jumping off point, not the gold standard official authority on any one subject.

I know, we've all heard that TPT is like the McDonalds of lesson plans but I humbly disagree. TPT is a great place to get ideas, and more often than not is aligned to standards. For art, this is where I get my cross curricular ideas. The key to using TPT is to take the base lesson and make it your own, make it work for your students. In education, their are no instant fixes. You have to adapt these lessons to fit your students' needs! #supportteachers #tptforthewin
