Integrating the Arts into your Classroom
The Performing Arts Series is committed to fostering learning through the arts. Most of our events offer educational ties that enrich coursework.
Why integrate Arts into your coursework?
- The arts deepen learning experiences.
- The arts make learning visible.
- The arts provide opportunities for reflection and self-evaluation.
An extra discount in addition to the student/youth price is given to students who are required to attend one of our events. Faculty and teachers receive two FREE tickets when you require students to attend a performance for class.
To participate, please contact David Sheldrick at 529-4111 or by email at david.sheldrick@MiamiOH.edu.
