| | | Details | How can educators of all disciplines prepare students to be active and informed participants in a democracy? Join us this summer to explore this question through the lens of six Smithsonian collections! Register for our free five-day virtual Summer Sessions and join an online community of educators across the country. Discover how museum objects can help learners explore the challenges and opportunities of living in a democracy and inspire civic action. Museum educators will explore connections among their collections and model teaching strategies that participants can implement with their students in the classroom. We’ll introduce the Smithsonian Learning Lab, a free, online platform for accessing digital museum resources and creating interactive learning experiences with them. Participants will discover how to teach with museum resources to engage students in deeper thinking and support content learning across disciplines. Over the course of the week, you will workshop ideas with this new network of colleagues to create a learning experience for your classroom. All educators are welcome. This institute is ideal for classroom teachers. |
