Institute for Arts Integration & STEAM Professional Development

The Institute for Arts Integration & STEAM has built the world's largest digital toolkit for educators who believe the arts belong at the centre of learning, not on the margins. Founded in 2013 by Susan Riley, a former music educator and administrator, the Institute now serves over 800,000 educators globally each year through online courses, on-demand workshops, certification programmes, and its annual national conference. The platform offers K–12 lesson plans, curriculum resources, and accredited professional development that shows teachers how to authentically integrate the arts across all subject areas—not as decoration or reward but as a rigorous instructional strategy that deepens understanding and engagement. The Institute's IACET-accredited courses lead to certifications in arts integration or STEAM leadership, providing meaningful professional credentials alongside practical classroom tools. Whether you're a classroom teacher looking to bring creative approaches to your maths lessons, a specialist seeking to connect your art instruction to broader curriculum goals, or a school leader building a STEAM programme, the Institute provides the research-grounded, practically oriented professional learning that makes arts integration sustainable and impactful rather than superficial.
