In this episode of Teaching History Her Way, we journey beyond the classroom walls and into the treasure trove of learning that is a museum! Our guest, Leslie Hayes, Vice President for Education at the New-York Historical Society and the project director of the Women & the American Story project, joins us to discuss the powerful impact museums can have on student engagement.
We'll explore:
- Why museums are a dynamic resource for educators of all grade levels.
- How historical artifacts and exhibits can bring the past to life for students.
- Strategies for planning and maximizing a successful museum field trip.
- The unique educational opportunities offered by a trip to the museum.
Tune in and discover how museums can spark curiosity, deepen historical understanding, and ignite a passion for learning in your students!
