Teacher Circle: African Diaspora Cultural Arts
Education and Social Justice in the Classroom.
In this group, teachers and
teaching artists will work together to learn
about various cultural arts of the African
Diaspora (Latin American, North American,
Caribbean, and African) including music, dance,
visual arts, theater, literacy and storytelling.
Each week will introduce a new cultural
art/artist, and teachers will design lesson
plans tailored to their student's needs that
address a social justice issue while learning
about the cultural art. The learning process
will be rooted in popular education, dialogue,
peer exchanges, group coaching of individual
teachers, artist and teacher partnerships, and
personal exploration of the social justice issue
as a point of departure to teaching youth.
Teachers of color are highly encouraged to
participate. Teaching artists who want to be
featured in a session can participate for free
by calling or emailing The Legacy Circle
directly: 212-307-7420 ext. 3012 or
manuela@thelegacycircle.org.
