**What is PLaiC?**
In this Professional Learning Community, teachers in grades Pre-K - 12 will learn effective arts integration strategies to use in their teaching through hands-on work and discussion with colleagues. As a PLC, participants are encouraged throughout the year to share or present integration ideas to the group for discussion before or after implementation. We will learn and grow together! At the end of the year, participants will have a repertoire of ideas, activities and lessons, based in the arts, to use in their areas of teaching**.**
