Teachers, join us for a unique opportunity to look, learn, create, and connect with colleagues!
Evenings for Educators is a professional development program for K–12 teachers focusing on LACMA's permanent collection and special exhibitions. Each session presents strategies for incorporating the visual arts into the classroom with activities that explore the artistic process, approach works of art as primary sources, and emphasize parallels between the visual arts and core content areas.
Teachers attend lectures by a curator or scholar and participate in gallery tours, discussions, and artist-led workshops. Participants also receive curriculum materials containing thematic essays, artwork reproductions, discussion questions, lesson plans, and related resources. All programs are interdisciplinary and standards-aligned.
In the 2019–20 season, programs will take place over eight Tuesdays from October to April. As in previous years, there will be four themes, but this year each theme will be offered on two dates. We hope this will create greater flexibility and enhance the intimacy of each program.
Complimentary parking and dinner are included with admission. Individual program tickets are $15 in advance and $20 when purchased on the day of the event.
Participating teachers are eligible for one LAUSD Salary Point Credit upon completion of an additional assignment.

Evenings for Educators is made possible by The Rose Hills Foundation, the Thomas and Dorothy Leavey Foundation, the Mara W. Breech Foundation, and The Kenneth T. and Eileen L. Norris Foundation.
