Cultivating Allyship with BIPOC Students through the Arts
The workshop is designed to lift up Black Indigenous People of Color (BIPOC) students by engaging teachers in the process of becoming an ally with BIPOC students and their families. For teachers who are part of the majority culture, building trust with BIPOC students and their families takes time, thoughtful alignment of curricular examples with cultural references that mirror the student populations being served. Arts integration and arts education provide opportunities for authentic allyship that capitalize on themes that connect with BIPOC, immigrant, and asylum-seeking families. The session will walk audience members through step-by-step engaging music, rhythm, dance, and movement activities rooted in cultural storytelling, while an arts researcher will discuss research evidence of learning outcomes demonstrated by these arts-integrated strategies resulting in a welcoming environment conducive to optimal learning.
