The Schools Program Model for Partnership
The Arts Every Day Schools Program is a three-stage model designed in partnership with Baltimore City Public Schools for school communities committed to growing a schoolwide Arts Integration Initiative. Arts Every Day provides Partner Schools with professional development, a framework of progress – known as the Stages Guide – for building its own unique school wide Arts Integration Initiative, as well as funding for arts programming to support classroom instruction.
