Program Components

Approach

Three overarching questions inspire the curriculum:

1. Who do we teach? How can we connect meaningfully with students of different ages, different abilities, and different cultural backgrounds?
2. What are the contexts of teaching? How can the environments where we teach and the people with whom we collaborate become meaningful resources in our teaching?
3. How does our artistry inform our practice as educators? Conversely, how do our interactions with learners influence our art making?

We address these issues through:

• Guided discussion and feedback
• Small group work on a specific topic
• Related reading
• Specially prepared videos of experts
• Short “research” projects that involve artistry, for example, writing poetry or creating posters depicting partnerships.
• Mentoring opportunities
