Learning Partners

What is Learning Partners?

Learning Partners is a nationally recognized collaboration formed by community leaders as a way to provide high-quality arts and cultural activities to all Dallas ISD elementary students each year. 

What do we do?

We bring the programming to educators and provide experiences for students that are not traditionally available in the classroom. These programs include field trip opportunities, in classroom experiences, as well as virtual programming to help youth learn critical skills and engage interactively in the community, all while flexing their creativity.

How does it work?

Every Dallas ISD elementary school receives funds for procurement of fine arts and artinfused programs experiences as well as science and social studies-infused programs provided by partners that are contracted through the Learning Partners program.

Every Learning Partner program is aligned with the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) state standard for student learning and competencies. The program is funded through Dallas ISD Visual & Performing Arts and Teaching & Learning departments. Learning Partners is eager to take on new program partners to continue on in its mission. A program partner can either be an individual or organization that provides hands-on learning experiences to youth.
