    Loved this interview–you said the arts should be integrated with science, technology, engineering, and math and from My previous teaching experience I totally agree with you. I taught second grade and some of my students best art came out of our math and science topics as well as other core curricular topics — integrations imbeds knowledge and it is great to see ASU bringing these ideas to their teacher preparation courses:)
