Idaho State Department of Education

The Arts and Humanities website is designed to offer resources to teachers in the fields of art, theatre, dance, music, and world languages. Links include professional organizations, bibliographies of arts materials, lesson plans, and the state standards in each discipline. The website posts current information regarding the annual statewide elementary professional training in arts integration, ArtsPowered Schools, including a link to the institute's website.

The website includes information covering new projects, such as the Geometry and Art Project, funded with a grant from Monsanto Fund. Also, art teachers may post their students' works online in an electronic art exhibit.
