The Yale Center for British Art’s education programs welcome students and educators of all needs and abilities. Through object-based learning and curricular engagement, we aim to enhance observation, visual literacy, and critical thinking skills as well as build connections and discover meanings from first-hand encounters with original works of art.
Summer Teacher Institute
This program offers K–12 educators an understanding of how visual art can support classroom reading, writing, and critical-thinking skills. Group discussions and workshops, led by university faculty and museum and school educators, will focus on objects from the museum's collections to demonstrate how to explore history and contemporary social issues. Daily sessions will provide practice in using the museum as an extension of the classroom. Common core standards are addressed.
The Summer Teacher Institute is generously supported by the William Randolph Hearst Endowment.
