Step 2: Prep students with the correct software
Please ensure that the correct software (Zoom) has been installed for each student. Test mics and headsets before your session. We require one teacher for every session. Teachers must be present and help monitor class during the session.
Remind parents/caregivers and students that three factors for a successful session involve removing distractions, maintaining focus during sessions, and being courteous to other classmates and educators.

Zoom FAQs
Q: Do we have to use Zoom? Could we use another software?
To maintain a consistency in operation, we ask for teachers and classes to join our Zoom session in order to avoid technical problems.
Q: I have students that may be uncomfortable talking on camera. Are there other ways to communicate with the educator during the session?
The chat function will be available for students. We want to ensure that each student has a positive experience.

Other Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do you have programs for homeschools?
Homeschool groups of 8 students or more are welcome to request a visit. Homeschool groups must follow the same procedures and guidelines as all other school groups.
Q: How can I determine the appropriateness of the artwork at the Getty?
The Getty displays works of art produced throughout Western art history. Many of these may depict nudity, religious scenes, and other sensitive subject matter. You may wish to notify parents in advance. Student Gallery Guide interns approach discussing all artworks in a professional, educational, and age appropriate way.

gettyteens@getty.edu.
Q: What happens if we arrive late?
Please arrive on time. Arriving late will result in a shortened virtual lesson since session are scheduled at consecutively appointed times.
