Workshops

Professional Development workshops are held throughout the year for educators of all disciplines and grade levels. Educators receive curriculum packets (lesson ideas, images and other resources) and partake in gallery walks, lectures, and art making to support pre- and posttour classroom activities.

Visual Thinking Strategies Workshops

Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS) is a student-centered, developmental, inquiry-based method of teaching. VTS helps students and teachers develop critical thinking skills through art-based discussions. Teachers learn facilitation techniques, which improve student observation and evidential reasoning skills and address important Visual Arts and English Language Arts learning standards. VTS workshops are held on a regular basis. Workshops for individual schools may also be arranged. Contact the Education & Public Programs Department for more information.
