A Professional Development Program for K–12 Teachers
Evenings for Educators provides K–12 teachers the opportunity to learn from LACMA’s special exhibitions and permanent collection. Each program presents ideas on how to incorporate the visual arts into the classroom and to support other curriculum areas with activities to enhance creativity, curiosity, and critical-thinking skills. Educators attend a lecture by a museum curator or local scholar and participate in gallery tours and discussions, artist-led workshops, and film screenings. Teachers also receive curriculum materials containing a thematic essay, color transparencies, image descriptions, lesson plans, and a bibliography. All programs are developed to meet California state content standards. LAUSD salary-point and university credits are available.
Sessions occur on Tuesday evenings during the school year from 4:30 to 8:30 pm. Registration is at LACMA East. Other activities take place in galleries and workshop areas throughout the LACMA campus. Refreshments are provided for participants. Preregistration is not required.
Funding for Evenings for Educators is provided by BP.
