Job description
Why This Role Matters
As an Art Workshop Developer, you’ll design world-class professional learning experiences that help art educators strengthen instruction, engage students in meaningful creative work, and support students in developing both artistic skills and their individual creative voice. Your expertise in art education will shape practical, research-informed workshops that educators can immediately apply in their classrooms and studios.
You’ll take client goals and instructional challenges and turn them into thoughtful, engaging professional learning experiences. Your ability to understand the realities of art instruction — from technique and creative process to critique, differentiation, assessment, student engagement, and emerging technologies — will directly influence educator practice and ultimately student outcomes.
This is a contractor position with flexibility in scheduling.
