K–12 teachers are invited to join this year’s Summer Teacher Institute focusing on art and environmental justice. This four-day program will explore how art can be used to teach students about climate change and inspire them to take action toward environmental justice. Through close looking and interactive activities, educators will learn how to apply object-based and arts-integrated teaching strategies in their classrooms.
Registration is available on a per-session basis; participants are encouraged to attend all four sessions.
