Young Audiences to Offer Professional Development Arts Integration Workshop for Artists and Teaching Artists

Making the Common Core Friendly, Meaningful and Fun
Led by Laura Zam, Teaching Artist Institute co-facilitator

At the heart of a teaching artist's practice is a personal relationship to art itself. And yet, this often feels compromised as we conform to schools, standards, and testing. Can school-based work be more artistically satisfying—not just for the kids but for you? This workshop—designed for both new and experienced teaching artists—breaks down the Common Core, making it easy to master. Just as importantly, it helps teaching artists connect this content to the deepest levels of their artistry. You'll never think of arts integration in the same way again.

The Dream House

The Youth Dreamers started in 2001 as a group of nine middle school students that were part of a Community Action elective course at the Stadium School. As part of their course objective they identified a problem in their community: too many adolescents were involved in negative acts after school because of a lack of organized activities and places to house them. Together they came up with a solution: to create a youth-run youth center that would employ teens and creatively serve children of all ages.

The Dream House became the vision towards which the original nine students and others after them worked to achieve. Continuing as part of the class, the Youth Dreamers selected an abandoned home in Baltimore’s Coldstream-Homestead-Montebello community, petitioned for a zoning change, purchased the house, wrote grants and raised more than $300,000 towards its renovations. Youth were also involved in the architectural design and renovations, guided by a pro bono architect and general contractor. They began planning, running and evaluating programs that they ran out of the Stadium School while the house was under construction. All programs both served and employed youth and included Homework Club, Community Art, Health Club, Summer Arts Program---to name just a few. Nine years later, the Youth Dreamers celebrated the Grand Opening of the Dream House and transitioned programs into our new space. In 2010, the organization separated itself from the Stadium School to become a stand-alone youth-center that served all students from the community.
