PCAH panel found that outcomes of arts education are desired in private industries - innovation and creativity are skills required in employees. PCAH report found that arts education increases academic achievement, attendance and decreases discipline problems and dropout rates. How do Temecula schools help prepare students for future careers? How can Temecula schools more effectively incorporate arts education into the curriculum? What private and higher education partnerships can Temecula schools build to develop an effective ART and STEM program for the students it serves?
 * Problem:**

In FY 2010, Temecula Valley Unfied School District (TVUSD) was awarded an Enhancing Education Through Technology (EETT) Round 8 Competitive grant. One significant outcome was the development of a Teaching Learning Collaborative (TLC) comprised of an art teacher, math teacher, and two science teachers. As a result of their three lesson studies, they desired to design an integrated STEAM curriculum that could be piloted at the 4th - 8th grade levels. This team would like to create innovatively integrated thematic units where students would use multi-modal skills in a technology embedded environment to develop contextual understanding of the require Common Core Standards and the California Content Standards in science, art, and math. A key element of the curriculum units will be the collaboration with community business and organizations.
