Expressive Arts practices are gaining momentum within the K-12 education system, offering unique insights into cross-curricular and cultural dimensions. According to the International Expressive Arts Therapy Association (IEATA), these practices celebrate cultural diversity, honour Indigenous teachings and languages, welcome newcomer families, and promote inclusivity and profound understanding through shared artistic expressions.
In this comprehensive course, you will delve into the transformative power of expressive arts-informed practices in educational settings. You will discover how various art forms, such as storytelling, music, dance, visual arts, and crafts, can become essential tools for teaching and learning. These art forms support communication, facilitate self-expression, and strengthen community bonds.
By the end of this course, you will be equipped with the skills to integrate expressive arts into your teaching practices across multiple disciplines. This integration will help create inclusive, culturally responsive learning environments that honour and celebrate diverse ways of expression and self-regulation, ultimately enhancing student well-being.
