Teacher Workshops

Teacher workshops at the Museum of Art offer professional development for teachers and a richer educational experience for Michigan students. Each after-school workshop at the Museum typically begins with light refreshments. The venue is friendly and relaxed. Participants enjoy a guided tour of a major exhibition (conducted either by the curator or other specialist), engage in hands-on experiences, and receive a packet of materials for personal and classroom use. Two formats are offered: the brief, two-hour “Evening for Educators,” and the more extended “Teacher Workshop,” which runs four to five hours in length. UMMA Teacher workshops have been recognized by ArtServe Michigan in its 2003 Best Practices in Arts Education.

Two to three teacher workshops are offered each school year. Stay tuned for announcements of future teacher workshops in 2009/10.
