How do relations of power around aspects of identity like race, ethnicity, nationality, dis/ability, class, gender, sexuality, and religion impact everyday interactions and experiences in art education? In this presentation, art educators are invited to utilize personal narratives and artmaking to critically reflect upon sociocultural factors within art education and to envision ways to transform art education practice for equity, diversity, and inclusion.

Description:
The foundation for a healthy, creative, and vibrant classroom is the connection and communication between the teacher and student. In the challenging contexts of remote and hybrid learning, fostering personal connections with students can be tough, but it is more necessary than ever. This webinar will review the research and methods suited for connecting with students during hybrid and remote learning. Research and methods applicable for the elementary, middle, and high school levels will be shared and modeled.
