VTS / Beginner Practicum – Online (August 2025)
The VTS Beginner Practicum is designed to help educators — even those with no background in the arts — lead discussions about art. This course introduces practical, evidence-based facilitation techniques that foster inclusive, student-centered learning.
In a small peer group, you’ll take part in image discussions, guided exercises, reflection, group dialogue, selected readings, and live facilitation practice with individualized coaching. You’ll also explore the research that underpins the VTS method.
The VTS Beginner Practicum Online welcomes newcomers and those with limited experience. Come join us!
