Educator Evenings
These informal professional development opportunities are focused on practical topics for classroom instruction. Teachers who attend may earn professional development credits and have a chance to become familiar with the Crocker and its offerings.
Teacher Workshops
Explore unique exhibitions, gain skills in discussing and making art, and acquire helpful resources to support and extend classroom learning, while earning your professional development credits. Teachers who participate in a Teacher Workshop receive a group admission coupon they can apply to their 2010-2011 group visit. All workshops take place in the Museum’s Education Center, located on the first floor of the historic building.
Custom-Designed Workshop for Teachers
$250
The Crocker Art Museum’s Education Department is happy to work with individual schools, teachers, school districts, or consortiums to create the perfect teacher-training experience for you and your colleagues. These workshops can take place at the Museum or at a school or community site. Many activities are ideal for team building as well as professional development workshops. Shorter presentations can also be designed for staff meetings and programs with time limitations.
Free Admission for Teachers
Teachers who book a Museum visit receive a GenCorp Teacher Preview Pass, which is good for free admission for two adults. We strongly encourage teachers to preview the Museum exhibits in order to shape the most successful learning experiences for their students.
Lesson Plans
Striking Gold is the Crocker's online home of lesson plans for teachers. Search lesson plans by grade, subject area, or artwork. Once you've chosen a lesson, introduce your students to interactive activities including a puzzle and sending an e-card.
