The Newark Arts Integrated into Literacy project has the following goals:

GOAL 1: Develop curriculum to integrate visual arts into the second and third grade reading/language arts/literacy program.

GOAL 2: Develop capacity of Grade 2 and Grade 3 classroom and art teachers to collaborate in integrating visual arts to improve reading/language arts/literacy instruction.

GOAL 3: Measure the impact of arts integration on student performance in Grades 2 and 3 in reading/language arts/literacy through an experimental research design.

Visual and Performing Arts educators and Language Arts Literacy teachers will change their teaching practice so that they work in tandem, not in isolation from one another. Joint lesson planning and implementation will occur. Students who participate in the integrated arts classrooms will have statistically significant higher test scores when compared with acomparison group.
