In the past decade, there have been growing efforts to improve and enhance the delivery of social studies content in the classroom through arts integration. Some educators have used music as a method for teaching social studies and found that interdisciplinary work increases students' understanding of history and different cultures. This article focuses on a pilot project designed to prepare preservice social studies teachers on methods of teaching their content area using the performing arts. It describes the context, methodology, and findings, and ends by discussing some of the implications for preservice social studies teacher education. Participants' reflections suggest that using the performing arts in social studies methods not only promotes student engagement and learning, but also gives voice to students who are rarely heard.
