Looking for high school ART teachers to participate in a short PD study (fully online, self-paced)
Hi r/teachers! Long-time lurker, posting for the first time to ask for your help.
I am a grad student finishing my master's capstone in Educational Technology and Instructional Design, and I am seeking a small group of secondary art history teachers to participate in a short research study.
Here is what it involves:
A short pre self-assessment(10 to 15 min), a self-paced Nearpod module I built called Not Just Frida: Diversifying Representation in the Art History Classroom (about 60 to 65 min, no login required, works on any device), and a short post self-assessment (10 to 15 min).
The module is a professional development experience that walks you through a structured curriculum audit of your current art history materials and helps you build a personalized action plan for integrating underrepresented Modern Art artists into your instruction. You might actually find it useful beyond just the research piece.
No live sessions. No scheduling around anyone else. You do it whenever you have time.
To qualify you need to be currently teaching art or art history at the high school level (grades 9 through 12) in any school setting, public, charter, or independent.
I am looking for 8 to 12 participants total. If you are interested, comment below or send me a DM or get the info on the Google Form, and I will get you started.
Happy to answer any questions about the study. Thank you for reading.
