Arts integration and STEAM are approaches that integrate arts with subject areas of science, technology, engineering, mathematics, English language arts, English language development, social studies, and physical education. LACOE provides assistance to districts and schools in delivering systematic, sustainable, high quality, standards-based arts & STEAM education for all students. In alignment with the National Core Arts Standards, "the arts" encompases all disciplines of dance, media arts, music, theatre and visual arts.
