Develop and teach a new course entitled Arts Education Technologies to undergraduate and graduate student artists. The course is an introduction to best practices for the use of technology in arts education in K-12 education settings. It should be designed to meet the technology education requirement for the California Preliminary Teaching Credential while drawing on CalArts’ unique spirit of experimentation and creativity. The course will cover a broad array of contemporary digital tools that support teaching and learning in the arts, as well as critical issues such as integration of assistive technologies and the rise of generative AI. The position also involves feedback, evaluation, and regular interaction with students.
This is a new elective course for a growing minor and concentration in arts education. The Arts Education minor (for undergraduates) and concentration (for graduates) prepares students to develop their own personal teaching philosophy in preparation for classroom teaching at all levels. The undergraduate minor focuses on teaching K-12 students, and the graduate program addresses both K-12 and higher education. Students explore historical and contemporary theories of learning from a critical perspective, as well as develop fundamental skills in course planning and classroom management and working with today’s diverse student populations.
Candidates should have a degree in arts education, instructional technologies, or other related fields, and teaching experience in arts education. We seek to employ faculty who can engage our diverse communities of learners at the highest levels of artistic endeavor and critical thinking. We welcome candidates who possess a demonstrated worldview and cultural competency to support teaching and mentoring undergraduate and graduate students of varied backgrounds, capabilities, perspectives, social identities and gender expressions. CalArts is an equal opportunity employer.
