Perspective-Taking at the Renwick
What do we gain by taking multiple points of view in history class? In our own lives?
Craft Connections: Art, History & Culture October 25, 2017 (5:00 pm - 7:30 pm)
Perspective-taking... we know it's good to get out of one's own head, to walk a mile in someone else's shoes, or to see an issue through the eyes of another. It's necessary for grasping the complexity of historical events or navigating cultural differences in our increasingly-global society. What role might craft play in building this skill amongst your students?
For the $10 registration fee, get special, after-hours access to the Renwick, a tasty dinner, and resources to take home.
When? January through June 2018 What? Help pilot test and shape new teaching resources. Why? A stipend and bus funds for a 2018/19 field tripmay be available to partnering teachers.
SAAM's website got more than a face lift; it got the works!
If you had any trouble finding much-loved resources, shoot me an email--I'm happy to find it for you! If you have feedback (cheers or jeers), please let me know.
Workshop attendees: We'll be doing user testing before some workshops this fall. Give us 10 minutes of your time in exchange for some museum goodies!
