Arts Toolkits for Summer Planning

Looking for new ideas, classroom projects, and resources in the arts? Whether you’re new to teaching or a veteran, you’ll find resources in the KET Arts Toolkits to help you address Arts Core Content 4.1 and engage your students in the art form. Each toolkit includes about 12 hours of video segments featuring performances, studio visits, artist interviews/profiles, instruction, and demonstrations; a binder full of lesson plans, glossaries, and guides; and special features such as posters and CD-ROMs. You’ll find information on ordering all four Arts Toolkits—Drama 2nd Edition (previously out of stock) and the new 2nd Edition Dance Toolkit as well as Visual Arts and Music—at the Arts Toolkit web site. KET is accepting pre-orders for the Drama reprint and Dance 2 (although we cannot guarantee it will be delivered before June 30).
