LACMA Educator Speaker Series Panel Discussion

Topic: The Impact of Culturally Responsive Arts Pedagogy on our Communities

Time: 5–6pm PST on Zoom

The California Art Education Association’s (CAEA) Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Committee is partnering with the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) to present a virtual panel discussion on the impact of culturally responsive arts pedagogy on school communities across the country.

We are excited to invite K–12 visual and media arts educators to apply to be panelists at this event. The moderated discussion will explore how culturally responsive teaching practices in the arts can empower students, foster inclusivity, and connect classroom learning to the diverse cultural experiences of our communities.

This is an invitation to visual art and media arts educators to share their experiences and insights, encouraging diverse participation and a wide range of perspectives on the topic. We look forward to learning from you and enriching our collective understanding of culturally responsive arts pedagogy! Apply here.

  ● Have experience implementing culturally responsive pedagogy in visual and/or media arts classrooms.
  ● Can share lesson plans, activities, or resources that have successfully connected with their students’ cultural identities.
  ● Are willing to engage in meaningful dialogue about challenges and successes in culturally responsive teaching.


Requirements:
  ● Complete the application form
  ● Currently teach visual or media arts at the K–12 level
