The Arts Integration Cohort Project is committed to implementing school-wide strategies to construct a school culture of high expectations for all students to learn, develop, and apply artistic skills and knowledge, improve understanding of academic concepts, and connect interdisciplinary arts and academic learning so that it becomes deep and sequential throughout the curriculum.

Arts Integration Cohort Project 2014-2018
The School District of Palm Beach County was awarded a U.S. Department of Education $2.1 million “Arts in Education Model Development and Dissemination (AEMDD) Grant”. Under the (AEMDD) grant, the School District of Palm Beach County will implement the Arts Integration Cohort Project (AICP), an arts-technology integration initiative designed to target student achievement and engagement at four Title I elementary schools.

The (AICP) is designed to create and document a cohesive, rigorous, research-based model that will use arts integration to advance the understanding of effective ways of teaching both the arts and academic curricula as a means to increase student achievement and engagement. The high quality, whole-school model for effective arts integration will be strengthened by research-based strategies developed by the Kennedy Center’s CETA (Changing Education Through the Arts) Program and sustained with effective professional development protocol.

The integrated curricula will be developed with engaging, challenging, and relevant interdisciplinary projects that demand higher order thinking skills included in the Florida Standards for Mathematics and English Language Arts/Literacy, combined with Next Generation Sunshine State Standards for Arts Education in Music, Visual Arts, Drama, and Dance; this will serve as the basis for all curricular activities to ensure that students are developing creative and critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration skills for the future.
