Networks & Strategic Leadership
We’ve spent the last few decades honing evidence-based processes, crafting replicable models and building national networks that work to empower educators, maximize resources and realize meaningful change.
Kennedy Center Education Networks, Conferences, & Research
How do we best engage and uplift learners through the arts? How do we ensure that our efforts are delivering impact? Through close collaboration and innovation—informed by science and guided by evidence-based best practices.
Arts Education Conferences & Events
Best practices, innovative case studies, poignant storytelling, idea-sharing from the field—these reside at the heart of our Conferences and Events. We bring together experts, educators, artists and impassioned innovators for interactive collaboration.
Arts Education Research & Resources
Our dedicated Research and Evaluation team assesses and measures the results of our arts education efforts to identify the most effective ways to engage all learners—and to share these results with the field.
