The Lincoln Center Institute International Educator Workshops are in-depth experiences in teaching and learning through imagination and the arts. These workshops, offered to pre-K through grade 12 teachers, school or arts administrators, teaching artists, curriculum developers, and college and university professors, are offered annually at national and international host sites.

With an Introductory Workshop, you will acquire the skills to help your students become creative, conceptual thinkers prepared for the world beyond the classroom.
