Integration:Disciplinary:How does it help us see the world in a different way?
Societal:How does it speak to the concerns of society at large?
Personal:How does it resonate with learners’ and teachers’
hopes, desires,curiosity, and needs?

Teacher Feedback
“Students will able to make connections a whole lot easier and it will be more engaging”.
“It was great to use new technology.”
" I have realized that I can't expect my students to be creative unless I am involved in the creative process myself. The SLANT training has given me this opportunity, which is truly a gift.”
“I valued time to research, build, consider, evaluate, be creative, and collaborate.”
“I appreciate the out of box experiences that enable me to think of teaching in different ways.”
“I now see clearly that art and science are both documents of life.”
