Culturally Responsive Teaching Through the Arts
Thursday August 16, 2018
|
|
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:
Teaching arts education that is culturally responsive not only fosters relationships but promotes high student engagement. By embracing the culture (and worlds) of students, meaningful connections are made that help students to feel that they have ownership in their learning, and encourage them to create. This type of instruction also leads to powerful conversations on race, power and justice.
We use the World Café to explore examples in dance, theatre, visual arts, and music that force participants to ask the tough questions, and work together to find the solutions.
Objectives:
- Define culturally responsive teaching and strategies for engagement.
- Gain knowledge and apply arts integration techniques to culturally responsive teaching.
- Use the arts as a lens to discuss culturally responsive teaching techniques.
Through hands on and student-centered instruction, participants are asked to dig deep and speak truths about their own privilege, media's constructions of race, gender, culture, etc. and the impact that has on their instruction. Using the World Cafe model as a foundation, participants will examine 5 different art forms that force them to answer tough questions and reflect and share ideas on culture. The arts help to tackle challenging, and yet universal themes, as well as create spaces for safe, expressive and meaningful dialogue. Strategies on immediate implementation in the classroom will be explored and shared, as participants will work to create new and innovate techniques that are both arts based and culturally competent.
