We Focus on Integrating the ARTs with SEL
For the last few years, you’ve experienced the big emotions that your students come to class with. They mope into class, sink into their seats and simply aren’t ready to learn. Sometimes they shut down or start acting up. When you try and help, it often makes things worse and you’ve started to wonder how many more years you can do this!
Welcome to The Inspired Classroom! My name’s Elizabeth Peterson and our focus here is on YOU, the teachers and who are with students every day.
After 25+ years of teaching in the classroom as an arts integration specialist and 7 years of developing the SEAL Method of integrating creativity and the arts with social-emotional skills, I’m excited to invite you into a world of opportunities that will transform your classroom, transform your students and transform yourself through creative social-emotional learning!
So – thank you for being here! That means you know how important it is to teach the whole child. That includes arts integration and SEAL: Social-Emotional Artistic Learning. I can’t wait for you to see what we have here!

It’s time to engage and inspire your students in meaningful, creative ways without layering more work on your shoulders!
“Everything I learn from Elizabeth comes alive within my classroom helping me to reach all learners.”
“These workshops are about going through the process of creating at our own level. We experience the excitement and uncertainty, the thought process, the focus, the challenge, the disappointment, the problem solving and the joy. We go through all that on our own level. And then as teachers, we find a way to bring this to our students.”
“I just took a class from another site. It was this big $800 course and I’ve learned nothing compared to what I get out of your workshops and retreats.”

How to Get Inspired!
1. Enroll in the Professional Development that Fits Your Needs
2. Get Inspired with New Strategies
3. Inspire Your Students as You Implement What You Learned!
You have students who aren’t engaged and who aren’t inspired . . .
Not all students are wired the same way. (You know that.) They need more hands-on experiences in their learning! Arts integration is one of the best ways to reach many students through whole body and whole mind learning.
So many students who struggle with content will light up when that content comes alive through an arts integrated lesson!
And here’s the best kept secret about how to inspire your students:
