The School of Education Students
Collaborate with the Lincoln Center Institute
January 06, 2009
Through a collaborative partnership with the Lincoln Center
Institute (LCI), students in The School of Education have been
taught how experiential investigations of the arts, specifically
the performing and visual arts, can engage children in learning and
support their development of a wide range of critical, analytic,
and expressive skills. Since 1975, LCI has brought dance,
music, theater, film, visual arts and architecture to over 20
million students, teachers, and professors of education. And
for over 10 years St. John's University and LCI have focused on
bringing the arts into the process of teacher education through
series of experiential workshops and performances. The
faculty have been actively incorporating the arts across the
undergraduate and graduate Education curriculum. Students in
The School of Education receive both a theoretical understanding of
art education and the concrete skills to truly integrate the arts
into every classroom.
