You can’t just leave current events at the classroom door—your students are affected by the news, too. But for the prepared educator, this can be a teaching opportunity, not an obstacle. If that sounds like you, or you’d like it to, then we invite you to join us for a Curriculum Boot Camp focused on current events and the arts.
In this two-day, on-site workshop, you’ll learn how to better facilitate rich discussions rooted in current events and how to encounter these issues through art. You’ll draw inspiration from guided viewing sessions in the galleries and take time with a curriculum expert and museum educators to develop lesson and unit plans for teaching current events through works of art. We’ll cover facilitation strategies to help you navigate discussions in your own classroom, as well as how to incorporate works from the Crystal Bridges permanent collection into your lessons. Please come prepared with curriculum standards and a current event in mind. 12 hours of PD credit available.
