Civic Engagement in the Arts

Join us for a free professional development program for 5^th–12^th grade teachers, administrators, and teaching artists.

How can art inspire us to be socially conscious individuals?

How can art facilitate culturally and linguistically appropriate conversations in the classroom?

• Explore the seminal exhibition, Radical Women: Latin American Art, 1960-1985
• Discover strategies for strengthening your students’ skills in perspective-taking and critical thinking through discussions about art
• Learn about Ethnic Studies practices in K-12 classrooms from Lorena Guillén, assistant professor at UCLA Graduate School of Education and Information Sciences
• Gain tools for leading a socially-conscious art activity in your classroom 
• Spark ideas for tapping into your school community’s resources

Coffee and pastries will be provided. You may bring your own lunch or enjoy lunch at the museum café or off-site.

Capacity is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Please RSVP with your name, school, and subject(s) grade level(s) you teach to academicprograms@hammer.ucla.edu
