Workshops for teachers at the Carlos empower educators across all subjects and disciplines to utilize works of art in their classrooms. Museum staff, Emory faculty, and practicing artists provide educators with effective ways to communicate about works of art and how to integrate them into the study of history, science, religion, and more. Topics are diverse and change regularly providing teachers with a variety of materials to use with their students to discover what art can tell us about the cultures that created it, the environment in which it was made, belief systems, societal structures, and more.
Professional Learning and Development
Host your next professional learning day at the Carlos Museum! Through interdisciplinary workshops, tours, and hands-on activities, educators experience ways that they can use the museum's collections in their classrooms. Popular themes and interactive learning opportunities include object-based learning, backstrap weaving, cylinder seals, hieroglyphs, and more. We can also develop custom programming based around the specific needs of teachers.
The Carlos can also come to you! While we can't bring the entire museum with us, museum educators can visit your school to connect the past to the present through presentations and hands-on workshops.
Fees and options vary depending on the number of participants and the length and location of the program.
Contact Senior Manager of School and Volunteer Programs, Kristopher Allen, at kristopher.allen@emory.edu for more information about program offerings and fees.
