Teacher Workshops
SmART Integration workshops equip educators with practical, evidence-based strategies to blend the arts — including visual arts, music, movement, and drama — into their existing curriculum, led by expert teaching artists.

SmART Integration is all about mixing the magic of the arts—like painting, music, movement, and drama—into everyday classroom learning. Through exciting, standards-based residencies and workshops, educators pick up strategies they can easily weave into their lessons. The result? Curious, engaged students who think deeply, get creative, and connect with what they’re learning in totally new ways. Learning has never been this fun—or this SmART!
SmART Integration is accomplished through collaboration with more than 20 teaching artists, multiple school districts, and national partners, including the Kennedy Center, Focus 5, and Wolf Trap Institute for Early Learning Through the Arts.
