Join us on Thursday, May 21, to discuss how museums can best support tomorrow's learners.
This fall, the NCMA received an IMLS two year planning grant using the design process to ask, imagine, plan, create, and improve a scalable menu of collection-based programs across disciplines for prekindergarten to college (P-16) students and teachers. During each phase of this design process, we will invite the larger museum and education community to share progress and gather ideas.
As we conclude the first phase of this planning process, we invite you to join a live chat to discuss what we learned during the ASK phase and discuss how museums are addressing these needs with two of our national thought partners:
- Seema Rao is the Director of Intergenerational Learning at the Cleveland Museum of Art. She leads the team of educators offering engaging studio experiences, developing interpretive content for new media, and teen programs.
- Kris Wetterlund, Director of Education at the Corning Museum. She has been an art museum educator for the past 20 years in the education department at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts and as director of education at the Minnesota Museum of American Art in St. Paul, Minnesota. Wetterlund founded and serves as editor for Museum-Ed.
You can participate in the live chat on May 21 at 1pm EST by joining the Google Hangout at bit.ly/NCMAask or participate through twitter using #NCMAask.
Looking forward to chatting with you,
