Explore how the arts can be a catalyst to build belonging in your classroom in this summer’s week-long teacher institute. Inspired by the Phillips’s summer exhibitions, Vivian Browne: My Kind of Protest and Essex Hemphill: Take care of your blessings, participants will investigate their own identities while considering how engagement with the arts can lead to deeper connections with and empathy for our students, colleagues, and communities. Educators will use various art forms, including visual art, movement/dance, theater, and creative writing, to cultivate a community of learners and plan lesson ideas for the year ahead.
