Job Description :

In January 2022, the U.S. Department of Education awarded Arts for Learning Maryland a five-year grant to partner with Prince George's County Public Schools (PGCPS) for a research study : Start With the Art : Arts Integration + Co-Teaching . This transformative project examines how co-teaching and arts integration can increase academic achievement and foster socioemotional development in elementary students.

Now in its final year of data collection, the project pairs teaching artists and classroom teachers to co-plan and co-teach arts-integrated lessons aligned with the PGCPS curriculum.

EIR Arts Integration Coaches support this work by offering written and in-person feedback, serving as liaisons between classroom pairs, school administration, and Arts for Learning staff, and documenting program implementation. Coaches ensure that pairs are supported in both planning and teaching and help capture the data necessary for the research study.
