The Arts/Literacy Project (A/LP) in the Education Department at Brown University is a year-round professional development program for teachers and actors linking the performing arts to student literacy development. A/LP links Brown's academic resources with local professional performing artists, teachers, and elementary, middle, and high school students. Each annual cycle of the program includes workshops that model how the performing arts can be used as a tool in the classroom to enhance student literacy.
