ABOUT BAIP
The Baltimore Arts Integration Project (BAIP) is an AED program established with the support of Dr. Mariale Hardiman, Professor Emeritus, co-founder of Johns Hopkins University’s Neuro-Education Initiative, and creator of the Brain-Targeted Teaching® Model.
BAIP’s goal is to help Baltimore City educators build their arts integration teaching capacity, skills, and confidence. Expected outcomes include improved student engagement, academic achievement, and positive classroom environments.
Dr. Hardiman’s Brain-Targeted TeachingⓇ Model
The Brain-Targeted Teaching Model® presents six stages, or “brain targets” of the teaching and learning process and describes brain research that supports each stage. While each brain target is presented separately, the components are interrelated.
