Arts-In-Education Exploratory Enrichment

Half Day Professional Development (On Site)

Presented by Nassau County Museum Of Art

Professional Development workshops are tailored to the needs of each group. Administrators and educators in all fields, K-16 can explore how to use the Museum and the works of art as a resource for teaching. The workshops are object/art centered; inquiries based and are designed to engage viewers in a participatory and meaningful experience. Discussions in the galleries are facilitated by education staff and methodologies used are open-ended and multi-disciplinary. Educators will discuss the connections between what they learn during the workshop and their discipline. They will leave with sample activities that can be used in the classroom. Teachers receive an Educator's Resource Packet with images and a study guide. By creating a welcoming environment to discover, share and reflect, the program aligns with the principles of NY State’s Culturally Responsive-Sustaining Education Framework. We strive to celebrate all voices and opinions, creating an environment of diversity and tolerance. Our exhibitions reflect a diversity of artists, styles, time periods, and geography and our programs encourage students to see their own life experiences as valued and integral to meaning making.
