The High Museum of Art offers a variety of professional learning programs and resources for all educators. At our Clendenin Center for Creative Teaching, we offer both online and printed teacher resource materials to enhance your classroom learning and enrich lesson planning and preparation. The Center is available for use during our professional learning programs.
FREE Evening for Educators
The High Museum of Art dedicates one free evening a year for educators and their guests to preview the newest exhibitions while learning more about the programs and resources available to teachers.
Check back for information on the next Evening for Educators in Fall 2010.
Evenings for Educators are opportunities for teachers, school administrators and community educators to see what the High can offer you and your students: amazing and exciting learning opportunities you won’t find anywhere else! View special exhibitions, reserve visits for your students, explore PLU and resource opportunities, and network with colleagues. This event is free for educators with advance reservations.
Plan ahead for Teacher Institutes.
Semi-annual Teacher Institutes prepare educators to visit the exhibition with their students during the following school year. A team of faculty that often includes visiting educators and scholars share innovative curriculum-based strategies for presenting art and culture in the classroom.
The High Museum of Art offers a wide range of resources to help you integrate art into your classroom or prepare students for a Museum visit. We offer interactive web-based activities, downloadable PDF files, and printed materials, classroom activities, discussion ideas, background information, images, and lists of references and resources.
