1. DESCRIPTION OF SCHOOL LEVEL DELIVERY MODEL

The Elementary Intensive Arts Education program strives to create a stimulating and culturally enriched learning environment whereby the arts are equal partners with what have traditionally been referred to as the "academic subjects." Within the context of brain research and multiple intelligences learning theories, its basic goals are to develop students' abilities and to enhance student learning through the four areas of the arts: visual arts, music, drama and dance. The program's over-all objective is to create a consistent environment that values uniqueness and risk-taking, and encourages self-expression and creativity.

The Elementary Intensive Arts Education program at the Elementary level is intended to serve the learning needs of students with a wide range of abilities, interests and backgrounds. The concept is designed to provide exposure to a much wider Arts repertoire and in much greater depth than would be available in a regular elementary instructional program.

A teacher in the Elementary Intensive Arts Education program will teach the core subjects in their own classroom and work collaboratively with other arts colleagues to provide meaningful and authentic arts experiences to deliver the disciplines of visual art, drama or dance in their own and other classrooms. The music portion will be delivered by Core Music and Band specialists.
