Docent and Teacher Workshops

Museums are filled with stories, and visitors can access those stories in many ways.

For school-aged visitors, the activity of engaging with an artwork parallels and supports many of the strategies they use in language arts, math, and social studies classes. Looking at a picture and listening to a story have a lot in common.

In teacher workshops, museum outreach, and in-service programs, I present a variety of ways educators can access the broad potential of a museum visit.

In docent workshops, I offer various strategies - some practical, some philosophical - on the nature of sharing a narrative with an audience.
