Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts is designed to assist arts organizations throughout the nation develop and/or expand educational partnerships with their local school systems. The purpose of the partnerships is the establishment or expansion of professional development programs in the arts for all teachers.The program, established in 1991, is based on the belief that educating teachers is an essential component of any effort designed to increase the artistic literacy of young people. The Kennedy Center's extensive experience with its local professional development program for teachers provides the basis for this national program.
Partnership Teams consist of a member of an arts organization and a senior level administrator of a neighboring school system. The team participates in an Institute that provides models and planning strategies for establishing or expanding professional development programs in the arts for all teachers, follow-up consultation, and annual meetings to assist teams in their continued development.
