The John F. Kennedy Center for Performing Arts
Washington DC
RFP PROGRAM DESIGN/CONTENT TEMP About Turnaround Arts Turnaround Arts was founded more than 10 years ago on the belief that by infusing the arts into daily schooling we can bring better days and joyful learning to K-8 students. Launched by the President’s Committee on the Arts and Humanities, Turnaround Arts has made its home at the nation’s performing arts center - The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts - since 2018. The network consists of more than 60 schools who have created a comprehensive strategic approach to bring the arts to the forefront of their communities and celebrate the cultural wealth of their students. Our tenth anniversary year was dedicated to creating a strategic plan moving forward, where we identified a program redesign pathway. We will be centering our practice on what we’ve heard from our educators and students during the past ten years: schools with arts-full curriculums are those where adults and children feel a deep sense of belonging, leading to stronger outcomes in all areas. In the coming years, Turnaround Arts will fully embrace the concept of joyful learning through arts-full curriculums – we know this is how we can create schools where students feel seen and belong and therefore learn even better. We’ll also ensure that our focus remains on building teacher leadership, increasing arts education opportunities, and building a community of engaged and supportive partners and families to join the school on this journey. Through ambitious and strategic arts investments—aimed at impacting every hallway, every classroom, every teacher, and every student in the school—Turnaround Arts fuels whole-school transformation in communities working to solve deep racial and economic inequities. The Assignment This role will work closely with the Turnaround Arts Program Manager and strategic consultants to design the new iteration of core programming for Turnaround Arts schools.
