Asia in Your Classroom: Resources for Infusing Art, History, and Culture into Your Curriculum (Spring 2024 Webinar)

 
On March 25, 2024, Humanities Texas held a webinar in partnership with Asia Society Texas on teaching Asian and Asian American art, history, and culture at the secondary level.

Schedule and Curriculum

During this interactive webinar, educators learned how to bring Asian and Asian American art, history, and culture to life in the secondary-level classroom and gained knowledge, skills, and strategies for cultural teaching through engaging student-facing webcomics created by Asia Society Texas.

Led by museum education professionals, the webinar, like all Humanities Texas teacher programs, emphasized the development of effective pedagogical strategies and engaging assignments and activities.
