Join arts education specialist Elisabeth Herrera-Very for an interactive professional development session designed to equip teaching artists with the tools to create student-centered, culturally responsive, and trauma-informed media arts workshops. This hands-on, research-based training will introduce best practices for designing creative experiences that honor students’ diverse identities, lived experiences, and artistic voices. Participants will: *Explore culturally responsive lesson planning frameworks aligned with theOregon Core Arts Standards, Oregon’s Transformative Social Emotional Learning Standards, and Project Zero’s Artist’s Studio Structures (Harvard Graduate School of Education). *Engage in collaborative discussion, movement-based exercises, and hands-on creation to deepen understanding of inclusive teaching practices. *Learn how to integrate standards-aligned strategies into their workshops while fostering student agency, emotional well-being, and creative expression. *Participate in an exit survey to help identify future professional development needs and compile resources for continued growth. This 4-hour session is designed to build a community of collaboration among teaching artists, ensuring that media arts education is high quality, research-based, and culturally relevant for students of all ages and backgrounds. Who Should Attend: Teaching artists, media arts educators, and community programmers looking to deepen their practice and develop meaningful, inclusive learning experiences. Why It Matters: By centering students’ cultural, social, and emotional needs, teaching artists can create transformative learning environments where students feel valued, heard, and empowered to develop their own artistic voices. Let’s shape the future of media arts education—together.
