The NBMAA offers full-day or half-day professional development workshops for K-12 educators from varying disciplines. Teachers will explore American art, artists, and movements–and learn how to connect them to classroom curricula and make interdisciplinary connections with other subjects like language arts and social studies.

Using the Museum’s collection to promote creative and critical thinking skills, these workshops include guided gallery conversations and activities centered around your school or district’s teaching focus, such as:

• Integration of visual arts with other subjects
• Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)
• Inquiry-based learning
• Relating art and ideas with societal, cultural, and historic context
• Multimodal Learning

Educators may register throughout the year or districts may book their own workshop in advance by working closely with the Learning and Engagement Department.

Half Day Professional Development:

• Duration: 3 hours
• Cost: $30 per teacher

Full Day Professional Development (minimum 8 teachers):

• Duration: 6 hours
• Cost: $50 per teacher
