Workshop Details:

August 5th from 8:30AM – 5:00 PM Laying the Foundation: Defining Arts Integration  This Seminar examines a comprehensive definition for arts integration, principles for how students learn, and how the philosophy and practice of arts integration is supported by current theories about learning.

August 6th from 8:30AM – 5:00PM Anatomy of a Lesson: Designing Instruction This session examines the impact of lesson design on teaching effectiveness and student learning. Participants identify the components of effective lessons, see them reflected in a lesson template, and apply their new understandings to plans for their own teaching.

A binder full of valuable resource materials, which documents and extends the Seminar content, is provided. Breakfast and Lunch will be provided both days. On August 5th, meals will be combined with Baltimore City Schools teachers providing an opportunity to meet teachers to develop potential partnerships.
