| Common Threads |
| An intensive
one-week institute aimed at deepening teachers' understanding of the
arts as unique processes for learning, knowing, and expressing. Designed

a series of common threads running through all art forms, show deep
structural relationships, and enrich learning and teaching the arts
in Maryland schools. The institute's ultimate goal is enrichment of
the teaching process to deepen the impact of arts experiences for
students and to expand and refine educators' classroom practice to
meet the challenge of the Maryland Essential Learner
Outcomes. Common Threads will be held at the Clarice Smith Performing
Arts Center at University of Maryland College Park from June 25-29,
