LMC Launches Professional Development Program

Submitted Story

The Lowell Milken Center is located at the corner of First and Wall Streets.
The Lowell Milken Center for Unsung Heroes is excited to announce the launch of a professional development program for educators working directly with K-12 students to foster the visual arts.
As a member of the LMC community, you may have heard some of the inspiring stories of the Unsung Heroes—diverse individuals from history and across varied disciplines who are largely unrecognized for their extraordinary contributions to society. The new ARTEFFECT Ambassadors program provides a framework for educators to learn from and alongside other high-level practitioners and be inspired and inspire others specifically through art-focused, project-based learning about the LMC Unsung Heroes.

We invite you to review the program offerings and apply if this opportunity seems right for you. The program runs online from October 18, 2023 to June 3, 2024. Ambassadors commit to participating in a series of online modules and completing a capstone project to make an impact on their schools and communities.

  What are the benefits of being an ARTEFFECT Ambassador? 

  • Participation in live online modules taught by seasoned art educators.
  • Strategies to develop instructional practice and learner-centered curriculum.
  • Peer-to-peer learning and meaningful dialogue on diverse issues in the field.
  • Advocate for art education and inspire leadership in the classroom and community.
  • Recognition in an official press release.
  • An unrestricted stipend of $1,250 and a Certificate of Participation.
