Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum and the John F. Kennedy National Historic SiteApril 1, 2015How can we use stories about artists to enhance the teaching of history and other subjects? How can a photograph, painting, play or other work of art open doors to the past? Spend a day with award-winning creators of children's nonfiction and outstanding educators to explore ways of integrating the arts into the the curriculum and inspiring students' own creativity.
This year’s conference features conversations with Robert Burleigh, Bryan Collier, and Elizabeth Partridge and a plenary session with Claudia Cornett whose book Creating Meaning through Literature and Arts has been praised as "the bible" of arts integration.
