Artist As Educator

Artist as Educator: Pedagogy, Planning, and
Practice.
Participants will learn how to effectively and
ethically engage with the diverse communities of
K-12 students-including English Learners and
students with special needs-as artists and
educators. This program aims to provide you with
tools to better engage with youth participants in
and out of formal educational settings to foster
an environment of creativity, criticality, and
equity. Student-centered learning, project-based
teaching, inquiry-based pedagogy, theories of
child development, social emotional learning, as
well as trauma informed pedagogy will be explored.
We hope to provide you with the tools, practice,
and exposure to experts in the field of arts
education to guide you in a career as an
artist-educator. All sessions will include
lecture, discussion, and participatory activities.
