What happens when you re-organize your school's curriculum, seeking connections to the arts in every classroom? Jennifer Borders spearheaded such an initiative at the Albert Einstein Academy for grades K-5 in Wilmington.
What happens is that teachers are energized, students are creative, and magic is in the air.
The Philadelphia Museum of Art recently highlighted the AEA's "Einstein and the Arts Curriculum" in their monthly newsletter.
