Teaching Artist
MoAD is hiring three Teaching Artists to bring the art of the African Diaspora into Bay Area classrooms. MoAD in the Classroom (MIC) is the museum's school outreach program, building visual arts literacy and sustained exposure to contemporary art for 3rd and 4th grade students at Title I schools across the San Francisco Bay Area.
Teaching Artists deliver MIC instruction in two settings: in partner school classrooms and in MoAD's galleries and art making spaces. You teach from a curriculum developed by the Learning and Family Engagement (LaFE) department, and you work alongside classroom teachers, fellow Teaching Artists, and LaFE staff so that each session lands for every student in the room.
