The Leonard Bernstein Center and the Artful Learning® model place the arts at the center of learning and believe that the arts cross all disciplines. Teachers are prepared to use the arts and the creative process to strengthen teaching and learning by providing a system to organize curriculum through units of study. Student assessment is based on content and performance standards. Through the Artful Learning® model, participants are immersed in four key components: experience, inquire, create and reflect. From the example of Leonard Bernstein, both students and teachers explore the learning environment using the lens of the artist, the mentorship of the teacher, and the discipline of the scholar.
