“…For arts integration to be successful, students should see connections and take away big ideas, arts activities must genuinely connect to the academic curriculum, content and artistic lessons should be of equal importance, experiences should include assessments with rubrics, and lesson plans should contain state curriculum standards for content areas and the arts (Mishook and Kornhaber, 2006). Through planned collaboration, teachers can provide deep coverage of their content area and reinforce what is being taught in other content areas; this will lead to students developing functional literacy that will allow them to learn and adapt in diverse learning environments.…”

This paper explores STEAM as a solution to improving student engagement and helping students improve functional literacy across the curriculum. While STEM is a fairly established approach to curriculum, researchers and practitioners are continuing to develop and understand STEAM and its place in school curriculum. It is important that educators foster this holistic approach to education and strive to participate in active research associated with STEAM. It is also most advantageous for stakeholders to understand the importance of arts integration and its use to support collaboration, innovation, and creativity within students. Key strategies can be used to support arts integration in any classroom.

“…Despite the fact that novice teachers tend to believe that engagement in the arts is an important component of every child's education, novice teachers rarely integrate the arts into their curriculum and instruction (Oreck, 2004). In addition to novice teachers' insecurities, the current era of accountability in schools provides an additional pressure that may make novice teachers reluctant to engage in curricular innovation, including innovation that attempts to integrate the arts with "high-stakes" content (Donahue & Stuart, 2008;Garvis & Pendergast, 2012;Mishook & Kornhaber, 2006;Oreck, 2004;Wexler, 2014). STEAM education requires authentic engagement in the arts; and, yet, most novice teachers report using arts-integrated lessons as a way to make the classroom more engaging and enjoyable (Donahue & Stuart, 2008;Oreck, 2004).…”

This essay explores the challenges that novice elementary teachers may face as they attempt to enact the practices of STEAM education. Specifically, I will explore research that suggests that novice elementary teachers lack confidence in their ability to lead lessons rooted in either scientific inquiry or arts-integration. This has, I argue, clear implications for the development of STEAM education. Advocates of STEAM education must ensure that novice elementary teachers are provided with the necessary scaffolds and supports that will empower them to engage in authentic and ambitious STEAM practices. Author/Artist BioAaron Zimmerman is an Assistant Professor of Curriculum and Instruction at Texas Tech University. He is interested in teacher development, specifically in relation to how novice teachers are prepared to navigate and negotiate problems of practice.
