Brzoska facilitates active discussions among teachers and teaching artists, in order to share openly and gain important skills to plan, schedule and transform schools through the arts. She is the leading expert in the field and has worked with the Partners in Education and Any Given Child programs for over 25 years. THE KENNEDY CENTER PARTNERS IN EDUCATION PROGRAM Since 2001, the Lied Center has partnered with the Umonhon Nation School in Macy, Nebraska and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s College of Education and Human Sciences to offer professional development in arts integration for K–12 teachers. A planning team develops a partnership agreement and program objectives annually and meets quarterly to plan activities, review goals, evaluate progress and celebrate success. Research results were recently featured in a national publication as one of six success stories selected from more than 100 Kennedy Center Partner in Education programs across the nation. The Kennedy Center Partners in Education Program assists arts organizations to develop and/or expand educational partnerships with their local school systems for the purpose of establishing professional development programs in the arts for all teachers.The program is based on the belief that educating teachers is an essential component of any effort designed to increase the artistic literacy of young people. K–12 TEACHERS & TEACHING ARTIST WORKSHOPS All Nebraska teachers, arts specialists and teaching artists are invited to participate in the workshops led by Kennedy Center or Lied Center teaching artists. Addressing Nebraska’s K–12 fine arts standards, core subjects, and evidence-based practice are key elements of the Lied Center’s teacher workshops. ARTS INTEGRATED TEACHING & LEARNING The arts are effective tools for teaching core subjects such as math, science, history and reading/language arts. When engaging students through the arts—dance, music, theater, visual and media arts—general classroom teachers and arts specialists directly address students’ needs, and increase their literacy, fluency, computation, critical thinking or problem solving skills.
