Addressing Learning Loss With Your Arts Curriculum

Virtual Event
With Lizzy May
Virtual Workshop for Arts Educators

Students everywhere have struggled to keep up with learning during COVID. In this landscape, embodied learning through the arts is a powerful tool to help students catch up. More than ever, administrators and grantors are considering supplemental programming and partnerships based on their ability to align with core academic standards.

In this training, we will walk through how to academically align your arts curriculum using Common Core standards. Through guided exercises, collaboration, and modeling, you’ll leave this training with the ability to more fully integrate artistic and academic content within your lesson plans, and with a greater understanding of how your curricula can address learning loss for today’s youth.

Lizzy May (M.A.T. Special Education) is a theater-maker and trauma-responsive educator from Chicago. After seven years in Diverse Learning classrooms in CPS and charter schools, Lizzy founded the nonprofit Backyard Chicago Ensemble to bring theater education to arts-starved schools. Backyard partnered with administrators, artists, nonprofit leaders and teachers to create Common Core-aligned trauma-responsive curriculum that addressed social-emotional and academic development in high-need students. Lizzy currently works as the Literacy Specialist for five Therapeutic Day schools in the Bay Area. She also consults with tech companies and arts-based community projects like Once Upon Our TIme Capsule on arts-integrated pedagogy.
