Professional Development

Professional development programs for school staff have the express purpose of facilitating the continuous growth of skills, knowledge, and practices of educators. The aim is to provide educators with the resources, tools, and strategies they need to enhance student learning outcomes, create a positive and inclusive school culture, and stay up-to-date with the latest trends and innovations in art education. These programs are essential for ensuring that educators are equipped to meet the diverse needs of their students and to effectively navigate the changing landscape of education.

The Galleries at Kean offer teacher workshops annually that delve into a wide range of subjects, including topics such as identity, the connections between social-emotional learning and art, and the relevance of art in today's world. During the workshops, you will have the opportunity to explore the content and context of artworks through modeling and experience how interacting with art can support teaching and learning.
