Introducing George Street's In-School Artist Residencies: Where Creativity Meets Academic Excellence at the Intersection of the Arts and Academic Standards!
The Arts-Integrated residencies designed for grades 5 thru 8 address learning and enrichment in core subject areas as well as vocabulary and language development, writing skills, creative and critical thinking, and 21st-century skills and habits of mind, such as teamwork, discipline, self-awareness, listening, questioning and perspective taking.
This action-packed, immersive learning experience creates memorable classroom moments that help core content stick!
George Street’s proprietary arts-integrated lesson plans become a part of your teaching toolbox for learning that extends far beyond the residency. Professional learning hours for participating classroom teachers are included in the residency package.
Contact us for a transformative experience that will leave a lasting impression on your students.
*GSP’s proprietary lesson plans are adapted from New Jersey’s Arts Integration- Think & Do Workbook.
“A lesson without arts integration is over in 40 minutes; a lesson with arts integration continues for a lifetime.”

What do we mean by Arts Integration?
Arts Integration is an approach to teaching in which students construct and demonstrate understanding through an art form. Students engage in a creative process which connects an art form and another subject area and meets objectives in both.
What is a Teaching Artist?
Teaching artists are practicing, professional artists who have dual careers as educators. They come from every artistic field- music, dance, theatre, visual arts, and writing- and work in many settings. One important distinction is that teaching artists do not serve to replace school certified arts educators. Instead, we believe teaching arts can serve as valuable resources and partners to our teachers.
