Acerca de GIVE
GIVE (Growing Inclusivity for Vibrant Engagement) is a free guide that supports arts educators in the creation of liberated learning environments and vibrant arts experiences within inclusion settings.

DAR Meta
To provide a wide-array of resources that support arts educators:
- Considerar cómo todos los estudiantes pueden participar y demostrar su aprendizaje.
- Garantizar que las aulas sean entornos seguros y de apoyo para todos.
- Planificación eficaz de las capacidades socioemocionales, cognitivas, físicas y conductuales de los estudiantes.
- Diferenciar la instrucción de las artes en el diseño, la facilitación y la implementación de lecciones
- Incorporar evaluaciones formativas que apoyen la participación de los estudiantes y el diseño de lecciones informadas y el establecimiento de metas para los estudiantes.
- Construir relaciones con los profesionales del aula para desarrollar conjuntamente objetivos programáticos, establecer asociaciones de enseñanza conjunta y estructuras de reflexión.


Nuestro espíritu al crear la Guía GIVE:
No group of students or educators is a monolithic group. With that in mind, consider the information, tips and strategies you find here as a starting point for iterating practice. Be responsive to who you are teaching; acknowledge and reflect on responses to the techniques you try. We hope the wide array of resources, activities and ideas organized in this guide will support you in your career as an arts educator.
We utilize person-first language in this guide, but there is no one correct way to name or describe another person’s relationship to disability. An individual’s identity preferences should be prioritized over generic terms. We encourage you to have conversations with your students to learn their preferred identifier. La guía lingüística inclusiva has information on person-first versus identity-first and other inclusive language tips, all with the understanding that language changes, it is fluid and personal.
El diagnóstico de la discapacidad y la experiencia de la discapacidad está influenciado por las intersecciones de las identidades de los estudiantes como la raza, el género y la clase en nuestra sociedad. Interseccionalidad de discapacidad, raza, género y otras identidades explora cómo el sesgo se cruza con el diagnóstico y la experiencia vivida en lo que respecta a la discapacidad.
The work of creating accessible and inclusive learning spaces is never complete. As the GIVE learning community grows and evolves, the GIVE resources will also continue to evolve and grow.
DAR Investigación
En la primavera de 2021, el equipo de GIVE observó a los artistas docentes que trabajaban virtualmente en las aulas de TIC de segundo a séptimo grado para cuantificar si la exposición a los recursos de GIVE afectaba la práctica docente y de qué manera.
Preliminary GIVE research shows that Teaching Artists who participated in training to use the GIVE resources improved in creating a welcoming and inclusive classroom more substantially than a control group of Teaching Artists working in similar environments. There is also evidence that Teaching Artists who engaged with the GIVE materials taught students to use digital tools and platforms more effectively than their untrained peers.
