Same Same but Different; Meaningful Arts for All Abilities

Description:

Artistic prodigies can dive right into anything you give them and the end products will impress even an untrained audience. But what happens when you teach a more authentic slice of humanity? Imagine a class where a student with deafness, another with strong cognitive needs, and one working at a college level all combine to make their dream album or college-ready portfolio. Two art and music teachers thrown into the deep end of an inclusion school in NYC share tools and a promising approach they developed to teach meaningful and rigorous inclusive arts classes to a wide swath of students.
