The new National Core Arts Standards are here, and teachers across the country are looking for ways to understand and apply these new guidelines to their teaching. This volume provides 18 concrete lesson examples, one for each Creative Process in each grade, K - 5. Based on the Creative Sequence template, these lessons give an example of how to integrate the new standards without sacrificing your existing curriculum. The goal is a clear, simple model that leads from teaching to assessment. Also included is an in-depth analysis of the Core Music Standards and the writing process behind them.
