Instructional Ideas

• Bring this video to colleagues at your next PLC or faculty meeting, and break down the many excellent teaching strategies (i.e. focusing on a limited number of elements, modeling to keep learners active and engaged, etc.) that are utilized throughout the video
• Check out the website referenced in the video (and included in our additional materials) for more lessons from the Getty museum

Pros

• Instructional materials used in video are included for reference
• Excellent display of several teaching strategies, particularly for use with special needs learners
