The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum Inc

MUSEUMS FOR AMERICA

THE ALDRICH CONTEMPORARY ART MUSEUM WILL AMPLIFY ITS PARTNERSHIP WITH HART MAGNET SCHOOL, A TITLE 1 ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN URBAN STAMFORD, CONNECTICUT, BY INCREASING EXPOSURE AND ACCESS TO THE ARTS FOR FIRST-FIFTH GRADERS, THEIR FAMILIES, AND EDUCATORS. A NEW PROGRAM MODEL, LEVERAGING THE MUSEUM'S ARTIST EXHIBITIONS, WILL FOCUS ON TECHNOLOGY AND AN INQUIRY-BASED APPROACH TO SCIENCE. STUDENTS, EDUCATORS, AND FAMILIES WILL BE ENCOURAGED TO SEE AND THINK IN NEW WAYS THROUGH ON-SITE STEAM TOURS AT THE MUSEUM, ARTIST-LED WORKSHOPS AT HART, TEACHER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, AND AFTERSCHOOL FAMILY ACTIVITIES. OUTSIDE EVALUATORS WILL WORK WITH THE PROJECT TEAM TO DEVELOP GOALS AND ASSOCIATED METRICS TO MEASURE HOW THE MODEL OF MUSEUM-SCHOOL PARTNERSHIP CAN ENHANCE STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT, ENGAGE FAMILIES MORE DEEPLY IN THEIR CHILD'S SCHOOL EXPERIENCE AND COMMUNITY, AND CONTRIBUTE TO TEACHER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. THE EVALUATOR WILL ALSO TRAIN MUSEUM STAFF ON BEST PRACTICES FOR PROGRAM ASSESSMENT.
