Reaching & Teaching All Learners Through Visual Art | Educator Speaker Series

Join artist and art educator Sydney Snyder to learn about inclusive model practices, universal design for learning, disability visibility, and strategies and tools for reaching students of all physical and intellectual abilities. Pulling from nearly 7 years of experience collaborating with occupational, speech, and physical therapists; special education teachers; general education teachers; students and parents, Sydney will share small steps all teachers can take to create more inclusive, accessible classroom environments.
Sydney Snyder is a multi-disciplinary artist and art educator in Los Angeles. This is her tenth year teaching art in a school setting. Sydney has spent the last seven years working with students of all intellectual and physical abilities. In addition to facilitating adaptive art practices to ensure art is accessible to all her students, Sydney employs the TAB (Teaching for Artistic Behavior) philosophy of teaching in which students have access to a wide variety of mediums and can create art about any subject they choose while learning the Studio Habits of Mind. In 2017, she founded an inclusive after-school enrichment program and summer camp called Art Encounter. Sydney also works as a co-conspirator at Adding Voices with founder Flavia Zuñiga-West, creating culturally responsive curriculum resources, editing newsletters, and organizing events.
The Educator Speaker Series invites K-12 teachers to present on crucial topics in art education that center on criticality and social justice.
