NAEA Open Studio: Reimagining Arts Standards through Centering Students
Over the past year, a panel of experts representing dance, media arts, music, theatre, and visual arts educators reviewed the 2014 National Arts Standards through a lens of culturally responsive teaching and student-centered instruction as a part of the NCAS Community for All Learners project funded in part by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. Their work culminated in creating a Reflections and Considerations report to inform the National Core Arts Standards, which is intended to support NCAS in a thorough review and revision of the standards to meet the needs of today’s arts educators and the students they serve. During this webinar, learn about insights from the work and specific tips for teaching with Libya Doman and Brett Henzig. These visual art education experts will share details about their experience and how educators can implement practices in their classroom for culturally responsive teaching, anti-ableism, and student voice and choice.
