From July 11-22, 2022 The Evergreen Museum hosted the kick off of the Baltimore Arts Integration Project (BAIP), a 5-year United State Department of Education funded initiative to support arts integration in Baltimore City Public Schools. The Baltimore Arts Integration Project (BAIP) is a collaboration between Arts Every Day and Dr. Mariale Hardiman, author of the Brain Targeted Teaching® Initiative and professor at The Johns Hopkins University. Over the course of the 10-day intensive, 20 teaching artists and classroom teachers received training in the Brain Targeted Teaching® model as a framework for arts integrated instruction and evaluation. Participants enjoyed exploring the grounds of the Evergreen as they collaboratively designed visual art, music, theater, and dance resources to complement the Baltimore City Public Schools’ English Language Arts curriculum. Over the next month, the artist and teacher collaboratives will continue to create virtual arts integration training courses that will be made available to City Schools teachers district wide.
