Session Description
A mainstay of Detroit’s higher education landscape, Marygrove College, has created a community-college collaborative that seeks to impact the academic achievement of the lowest level learners in Detroit. Marygrove College Institute for Arts Infused Education believes that the arts are transformative tools for engaging all learners. The Institute improves educational achievement, creates innovative models for teaching and learning, and promotes the systemic integration of the arts into the K-12 core curriculum through mini-residencies with trained community artists. This methodology creates learning communities where students, artists, and teachers are agents of positive change.
We have six years of research to prove the intervention’s effectiveness and are interested in sharing our success stories with conference attendees as well as listening to others doing similar work or wanting to do similar work. We are interested in expanding and collaborating across the state and out of the state and this roundtable will begin that discussion.
