Paradigm Project Fifth Annual Conference

Meet at the entrance to Spertus and take the short walk to the Art Institute.  A facilitator from the Art Institute will lead participants through the museum and provide an early childhood perspective on exhibits. The group will return to Spertus for lunch and the closing session.

Classroom Connect is the Art Institute's customized, three-hour professional development program for teacher and pre-service educator groups. Starting with works of art, educators increase their familiarity with inquiry-based teaching methods, including looking strategies, open-ended questioning, and object-based learning activities that can be conducted in both the museum and classroom. Educators also learn about programs and resources available at the museum.
