r <br /> Arts in Education Grant—Spring 2014-15 McDougle Elementary School PTA <br /> Integrating Cultural Arts into the Curriculum <br /> The PTA Cultural Arts program works in concert with the school's art education curriculum, as <br /> well as with the teachers who incorporate the performances into the grade-level curriculum <br /> specified in the NC Essential Standards and the Common Core, particularly focusing on the Arts <br /> Education component. Both Orchid Ensemble and NCYTE provide instructional materials to <br /> correspond with their performances, which are distributed to MES teachers. Each teacher is <br /> responsible for integrating these materials and the performances with the curriculum in each <br /> classroom. These linkages would most often take place on a grade-wide scale, with teachers of <br /> the same grade using the same lesson, which would be reinforced during relevant `specials' <br /> classes (e.g., art, music, library). <br /> Page 6 of 23 <br />
