The reason why arts integration holds so much potential for the classroom is the power of art to engage students in experiential learning, which is the process for making meaning directly from the learning experience as opposed to academic learning, the study of a subject without the direct learning from experiencing that subject. But there is a distinction between classrooms that use arts as a resource and classrooms that fully integrate art in the planning and implementation of curriculum.

The most effective learning is learning that is engaging, relevant, and interesting.

Arts integration offers a “range of approaches to learning” aligned with the principles of differentiated instruction. Specifically, arts integration helps students access content, process their learning, create products, and work in a productive and supportive learning environment in ways that take into account individual readiness, interest, and learning profile.

Arts integration and UDL are natural partners. The arts offer teachers multiple means for providing information to a wide range of learners, multiple means for all students to make sense of and express their understandings, and multiple means for engaging all students in participatory, collaborative, authentic, and energizing learning experiences.

Arts integration is naturally engaging. Opportunities for individual choice, autonomy, and self-regulation abound. Students are engaged in collaborative learning experiences with peers in which they share and build on each other’s ideas, consider options, make decisions, compromise honorably, and learn to work together to achieve a shared goal. Coping skills and strategies are embedded in the process.

There is a powerful alignment between arts integration and these three UDL principles. The arts provide a multitude of ways to represent information, multiple ways for students to construct and demonstrate their developing understandings, and multiple ways to capture interest and engage students in learning.

1. Multiple means of Representation
Teachers present information in different ways, using alternative means for the delivery of information.

2. Multiple means of Action and Expression
Teachers provide a variety of ways for students to actively construct and demonstrate their understanding.

3. Multiple means of Engagement
Teachers involve students in learning activities that optimize individual choice and autonomy, are authentic, and as a result, are motivating and engaging.

“As a music teacher at an arts-integrated school, I have suddenly become a part of everyone’s classroom as we collaborate together to create ‘informances.’ I now work musical concepts into a large unit of study that corresponds with what students are learning in the regular classroom, making both the music and the social context connect in a more meaningful way.” --Rebecca Stump, general music and band teacher, Lafayette Elementary School, District of Columbia Public Schools, Washington, DC

Through practice, the students have come to realize that they can express their understanding through the arts; which not only makes learning more engaging, but allows them to express understanding on an entirely deeper level.” --Jennifer Lambert, teacher, Stratford Landing, Fairfax County Public Schools, Virginia
