Partners in Education:
A partnership among the Mansfield Art Center, Mansfield City Schools, and the Renaissance Performing Arts Association has been selected as a Partners in Education team by The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. The local partnership is among just 14 new Kennedy Center teams announced this month across the nation and the only team to be named from Ohio.
The program is based on the belief that the professional development of teachers is an essential component of any effort designed to increase the artistic literacy of young people. The Kennedy Center's extensive experience with its local professional development program, established in 1976, provides the basis for this national program.
