Resources for Educators

For educators looking to integrate the arts into their practices, the Kennedy Center offers professional development programs; robust, evidence-based resources; replicable, field-tested models to leverage—and that’s just the beginning. Get to know us!

Digital Resources Library

For educators and parents looking to infuse the arts into their educational practices, we’ve developed a robust collection of hundreds of digital learning resources: lessons, articles, performance guides, how-tos and much more. And did we mention they’re free?

Professional Development

For over 40 years, we’ve worked alongside educators, school administrators, artists and students to hone programs and resources that effectively guide and support arts education—in ways that are meaningful, accessible and impactful.

Partnerships

To support arts education practices, schools and communities can look to partner with local or national arts institutions and organizations to fortify, guide and support their efforts.
