- Adapt teaching materials, pacing, and visual aids to accommodate varying audio-visual needs (e.g., using high-contrast slides, large fonts, clear vocal projection, and assistive audio tech if needed).
- Foster a warm, inclusive, and socially supportive classroom environment where participants feel comfortable asking questions and connecting with peers.
- Program enrichment opportunities, such as guided virtual gallery tours or local museum outings, ensuring full accessibility and coordination with community transit.
Requirements
- Strong knowledge of global art history, visual culture, and museum studies.
- Understanding of the unique psychological and social benefits of creative arts and lifelong learning of mature students.
