The Museum’s Education Department, in partnership with the Jefferson County School System, was selected as one of 12 teams nationwide to attend the Kennedy Center Partners in Education Institute in April. The Institute will provide an opportunity to create new professional development programs to develop teachers’ knowledge of the arts and empower them to use the arts in their classroom.

The Museum will serve as a critical partner in the effort to help students develop the important 21st century skills of creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, confidence, and conversation that will be crucial to students achieving success in school and beyond.
