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.

Come to LACMA with your colleagues during the summer break to create a short film and learn strategies for integrating the visual arts into core curricula. Over the course of this free, four-day professional development program, filmmakers, teaching artists, and museum educators will guide you and your colleagues through the process of writing, filming, editing, and screening your own short film using Apple iPads.
The Art+Film Teacher Institute introduces teachers to arts-integration methods that promote student development of tech and media literacy, primary source analysis, and skills associated with project-based learning (PBL). Program activities and materials address California Visual and Performing Arts Standards (VAPA), the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for English Language Arts & Literacy, and the LAUSD Media Arts Standards.
Applications for the summer 2020 program will be available in spring.
