Teachers come together in small groups at the Getty to advance thinking about their own goals and strategies for classroom teaching. Our programs support the national and California state content standards for grades K–12. The following are some of the programs offered on a regular basis.
For information about upcoming programs, please contact teacherprograms@getty.edu.
Teachers' Open Workshops
At the Getty Center
In these one-day workshops held on Saturdays, K–12 teachers are immersed in one aspect of the Getty Museum's permanent collection while learning specific ways to incorporate works of art into their classroom teaching. The program includes a lecture presented by a curator or guest speaker and small group sessions about strategies for discussing and responding to works of art through writing and art making. Each workshop is accompanied by a set of lessons, which are made available on this Web site.
The next workshop, "Who's Afraid of Contemporary Art?" will be held on April 12, 2008. Call (310) 440-7300 to register. Space is limited, so sign up now!

Working in grade-level teams, teachers develop and test their own classroom materials, which are built around works of art in the J. Paul Getty Museum and their existing language arts curriculum. Participants are eligible for LAUSD salary points or USC Continuing Education Units upon completion of program requirements.
