This Month’s Learning Lab

Art Speaks Beyond the Classroom

Date:Thursday, October 22, 2026
Time:4:00 PM Pacific
Location: Online
Cost: Free

During this session, we’ll explore a simple framework for helping students uncover and communicate the stories behind their creative work. You’ll experience a classroom-ready storytelling activity and discover practical ways to capture and share authentic student voices throughout the year.

Participants will leave with a ready-to-use lesson plan, Student Story Builder, reflection prompts, and strategies for turning everyday classroom experiences into meaningful stories that can be shared with families, administrators, and school communities.

Whether you’re looking for a new way to build student reflection into your classroom or searching for authentic ways to communicate the impact of your visual arts program, we’d love to have you join us.
