00:00:06.810 --> 00:00:15.690
The idea behind CALTA 21 is to make museums
accessible to diverse audiences, but mainly

2
00:00:15.690 --> 00:00:19.450
to immigrant audiences, adults and their families.

3
00:00:19.450 --> 00:00:26.779
And it’s based on building partnerships
between art museums and community colleges

4
00:00:26.779 --> 00:00:36.190
or any organization of higher education that
teaches English to immigrants-- adult immigrants.

5
00:00:36.190 --> 00:00:47.780
I think it’s critical to understand the
title of the curriculum and the title is identity

6
00:00:47.780 --> 00:00:49.730
and portraiture.

7
00:00:49.730 --> 00:00:57.830
And so, we’re also using story corps as
an anciliary material so that students understand

8
00:00:57.830 --> 00:01:06.420
the nature of identity and explore personal
narratives of others and of themselves.

9
00:01:06.420 --> 00:01:15.869
And hten share those personal stories with
their classmates and with their community

10
00:01:15.869 --> 00:01:16.920
at large.

11
00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:27.189
And the whole idea with the curriculum with
the identity theme is what makes an immigrant

12
00:01:27.189 --> 00:01:28.189
and immigrant?

13
00:01:28.189 --> 00:01:32.649
And how do you make the curric-- whatever,
when you go to a museum, how do you see yourself

14
00:01:32.649 --> 00:01:33.950
within a museum?

15
00:01:33.950 --> 00:01:38.770
So the program has ten units.

16
00:01:38.770 --> 00:01:40.899
Eight are taught in the college.

17
00:01:40.899 --> 00:01:42.310
And two are taught in the museum.

18
00:01:42.310 --> 00:01:47.689
And when they go to the museum, it’s like
they have started with this practices, talking

19
00:01:47.689 --> 00:01:48.920
about art in the classroom.

20
00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:55.950
They have also become facilitators in the
classroom of the chosen artwork.

21
00:01:55.950 --> 00:02:00.759
And then they go to the museum, and the museum
educator facilitates the discussion, but then

22
00:02:00.759 --> 00:02:05.829
the student becomes also the facilitator among
their peers.

23
00:02:05.829 --> 00:02:11.440
And then at the end of the curriculum, the
idea is that you bring your family.

24
00:02:11.440 --> 00:02:15.659
And they facilitate the experience.
