Rebecca Posner
Art of Self-Discovery Curriculum Specialist
Rebecca Posner is a multidisciplinary artist, writer, mover, educator, life-long learner and dream collaborator. She holds a Masters in Teaching from the Jacob Hiatt Center for Urban Education at Clark University, and an M.F.A. in Performance and Interactive Media Arts from CUNY Brooklyn. She has worked as a teaching artist and curriculum writer for nearly two decades, and served as program director for the daytime learning program at Kite’s Nest Center for Liberatory Education, where she developed cross-disciplinary, community-based programming that specialized in project-based and socio-emotional learning. Rebecca’s backgrounds in somatic movement and writing bring a focus on healing through embodiment and literacy through diverse expressive modes. In 2019, she began teaching the Anne Frank Center’s “Art of Self-Discovery” residency in NYC schools, where she developed the curriculum into a mixed-media notebook-making program that invites students to use Anne’s writing as inspiration. She continues to work with the residency team to develop the curriculum and manifest a vision of connecting young people to the power of Anne’s story, and to their own voices. She is a strong believer in curiosity-driven learning, the wisdom of the natural world, and the incredible power of art to shift and grow our collective imagination.
