The Kennedy Center Partners in Education has announced that they are taking applications for the 12th Partners in Education Institute. This is a four-day intensive workshop designed for arts organizations and school districts interested in partnering together to initiate or expand professional development programs for teachers. The KC will select up to 14 two-person teams from around the country, each consisting of an arts administrator from an arts organization and an administrator from a neighboring school district.
The Institute examines program models and planning strategies for establishing and expanding professional learning programs in the arts for all teachers, and develops and nurtures partnerships between arts organizations and their neighboring school systems.
Teams of school district and arts administrators interested in applying for the Institute can download the application here and submit it with letters of commitment from both the arts organization and school system. The application deadline is October 31, 2009.
Questions and requests for a hard copy of the application can be directed to:
