General Training
New docents are strongly encouraged to attend one of the general training sessions. In the 30 minute training, you will learn about the art terminology and concepts covered in the Art Vistas curriculum and tips and tricks for classroom management.
Grade-Level Training
Grade-level training is for all docents at each grade level. The training sessions are extremely important and helpful -- someone from your class must attend. During grade-level training, you will receive a curriculum handout for each set and be trained to lead your class through each lesson (or set), including discussion of the art prints and conducting the projects.
If you have questions on training, contact the head docent at your school or [email protected]
