Abstract	The Student-Centered Arts-Learning Environments project (SCALE Project) focused on professional development for teachers that enabled them to integrate arts into other curricular areas through a model of cross-discipline collaboration. Teachers prepared to lead elementary school students through the planning and implementation of an arts-based cross-curricular project, and to attend a theme-related concert performed by the West Virginia Symphony Orchestra (WVSO). In 2012, staff from the WVSO and West Virginia Department of Education (WVDE) Office of Instruction recruited sixteen schools in high poverty areas to participate in the SCALE Project during the following fall. Each school sent a team (including a regular education teacher, arts teacher, and a school administrator) to two face-to-face training sessions and a webinar. During the subsequent weeks, teams implemented their projects and prepared their students to participate in a performance of Maestro Grant Cooper's "Boyz in the Wood," a contemporary children's concert based on the story of Little Red Riding Hood. The overall goals of the SCALE Project included increases in (a) peer collaboration among teachers for interdisciplinary instructional planning and implementation of arts integration; (b) teacher knowledge of arts integration and lesson design; and (c) student engagement in learning and in music and arts.
