The primary goal of the ArtsLinks project is to use the arts as a unifying agent across curriculum areas and to support teacher involvement in curriculum development. Art Education Department continues to provide significant indirect support to the Project. Professional Development Through the Arts was an early incarnation of ArtsLinks. The College of Visual and Performing Arts at UMD provides a rich setting for this experience. In-service teachers act as mentors.
College professors act as advisors in content areas.
Teacher mentors and college professors bring to the Project a variety of discipline backgrounds, including English, Science, History, Foreign Languages,and Math.
