Episode 48: Balancing Cultural Relevance with Social Engagement through Practice & Pedagogy
Laura and Matt GrundlerOrlando Bolaños
“Knowing the culture of our students, their stories and heritage is an important aspect of connecting and building relationships, but also a way to help students create art with meaning to their lives. Students’ lives and stories are relevant to their learning!” In this episode, Orlando Bolaños speaks with the Creativity department about Social Engagement Practice, how our art rooms are mirroring the diversity of our students, and how Culturally Relevant Pedagogy can be used to achieve teaching goals. Discover how curatorial practices and a student’s own identity can be used to meaningfully support students, develop strong relationships with them, and advocate for their growth as a whole person.
