Learning @ Hawthorn

Leonard Bernstein's Artful Learning Model was developed from 1992-1995. It was field-tested beginning in the 1995-96 school year and began full implementation the following year. Eighty of our teachers took advantage of the opportunity to be trained and learn more about this model.

This K-12 comprehensive school reform model and professional development prepared teachers to:

• Use the arts and the artistic process to reinforce teaching and learning in all subjects.
• Develop interdisciplinary units for students aligned with the standards and Understanding by Design (UbD) with a focus on literacy.
• Help all students form a lifelong love of learning.
