Arts Education shines when it comes to communicating through interpretive and expressive means that transcend language. This course takes a DEEP dive into instructional language, building vocabulary, as well as both content area and disciplinary literacy in the six WIDA modes of communication; (speaking, listening, representing, reading, writing, and viewing). For a total of 20 contact hours (2.0 CEUs), participants will engage in a study of best practices, routinely apply their learning, report back successes and opportunities for further learning, explore modifications for MLs, EC, AIG, as well as create a definition of "literacy" which fits the needs of their discipline, their student population, and best practices in the field.

Utilizing the Literacy Instructional Standards in Arts Education
On October 7, 2021, the North Carolina State Board of Education approved the Literacy Instruction Standards (LIS) as outlined in Section V of SB 387: Excellent Public Schools Act of 2021. The LIS serve as a framework for the development and alignment of curriculum and instruction for all public schools. These standards are defined as a level of quality and equity to be used consistently within core literacy instruction statewide. While the NC Standard Course of Study (NCSCOS) sets student expectations, the LIS and their associated instructional practices set expectations for teaching literacy. The LIS are organized by grade-band and can be used to ensure that all teachers across North Carolina have a common understanding and delivery of literacy instruction.
While the LIS have been developed by grade bands, they should be used in tandem with appropriate grade-level texts of increasing complexity in order for students to fully meet the demands of the NCSCOS. This session will specifically address Literacy within both the elementary and secondary classrooms in Dance, Music, Theatre, and Visual Arts.
