NEIGHBORHOOD BRIDGES: Innovative In-School Residency Opportunities

Together with our Kennedy Center Partners-in-Education team, in 2011-12 we will implement an innovative pilot program, Neighborhood Bridges. Using drama, storytelling and creative writing, the program aims to improve narrative and descriptive writing in ELA classrooms.

Neighborhood Bridges was developed by The Children’s Theatre of Minneapolis and as a recipient of the Arts in Education Model Development and Dissemination grant the program is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as a national model for arts education.
