Maine college of art Fieldwork

Using the museum, contemporary art collections and alternative settings as a resource for informing classroom practice I explored, developed, and participated in engaging intergenerational and multicultural community field and group activities on site in various venues in the Portland, Maine area. As a student teacher I collaborated with local schools and teachers to conduct classroom visits, develop and lead gallery tours, and teach integrated workshops in a museum setting. I engaged young children by extending and integrating their academic knowledge through interdisciplinary and integrated lesson plans.
