Arts and Humanities Education Advocacy

We are excited to present the third video in the short documentary series made by Stone Soup Films on our programs on our Collective Impact! These videos are part of this month’s arts and humanities advocacy initiatives, where we will be showing off our work and our members who are critical to cultural programming for student in DC. This video features Arthur Espinosa, Jr. of the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities and several of our organized arts and humanities field trips to places like The Phillips Collection and Washington Bach Consort and Howard University Middle School for Math and Science. Thank you to to Stone Soup Films for helping us show off the highlights of our work! Next week we will be unveiling a mini-documentary for the end of the month!

 Third blog in the #ArtsAndHuamnitiesForEveryStudent series

Arthur Espinosa describes watching the students light up in a way he never thought possible when they were taken backstage after a concert to meet the performers and ask questions. The interaction taking place on the actual set is unique in that it opens the curtains on how the arts get produced and pushes down the barrier between professional performers and the students.

He stresses the importance of making arts and humanities part of everyone’s daily experiences and of working with the community to impact the education of DC students. DC is host to some of the world’s best arts institutions, it’s important that students get to take advantage of it.

Thank you to to Stone Soup Films for helping us show off highlights of our work!

Arts and Humanities Education Advocacy

This is the final video in the short documentary series that Stone Soup Films made about us! We are so thankful that Stone Soup was able to create these videos for us to use as part of a month of arts and humanities advocacy initiatives. We are grateful to our community partners that were featured in this video like The Kreeger Museum, Phillips Collection and Washington Bach Consort. This video encapsulates our mission and the work we do in partnership with our members to reach as many students as possible with meaningful arts and humanities educational programs. 

We are inspired by the work of our members and school partners to ensure that the cultural institutions are seen as a integral part of the education of DC’s students.

Fourth and final blog in the #ArtsAndHuamnitiesForEveryStudent series

Our Executive Director, Lissa Rosenthal-Yaffe, makes the case for the DC Collaborative and its members that collectively, the arts and humanities education community is making a crucial impact on student learning in the District when providing access to the education programming at cultural institutions. She looks forward to eventually working with all 85,000 students in the DC community both inside and outside of the classroom.

Linda Harper, Board President of the DC Arts and Humanities Education Collaborative, comments on the rich cultural amenities in DC and the need for public schools to take advantage of these resources in the city. The DC Collaborative in partnership with its members, fills this void and acts as a bridge between DC cultural institutions and DC Public and Pubic Charter Schools.

Jeanette McCune, the Director for DC School and Community Initiatives at The Kennedy Center and DC Collaborative Board Member, says that the DC Collaborative has been necessary and dependable resource for students experiencing programs at The Kennedy Center as well as other institutions in the city.

Second blog in the #ArtsAndHuamnitiesForEveryStudent series

This film features a one of the Professional Development Institute Tell Your Story: Using Arts Integration to Impact Literacy, part of the DC Collaborative’s PD Institute Series. This event was co-produced by The Kennedy Center. Hear from teachers including Joanna Lewton, who is also a DC Collaborative Key Communicator, as they explain how arts and humanities integration training plays a crucial role in assisting teachers in the classroom. She says that she came out of the workshops with new ideas to bring back to her staff immediately. Teachers actively participate in hands-on activities which include dance, bookmaking, storytelling, music and even stop motion animation that they can incorporate in their classrooms.
