AASLH Workshop: Connecting Your Collections to Teachers and Students

The American Association for State and Local History (AASLH) offers a full schedule of high-quality online and in-person professional development workshops every year. This year’s topics include project management, education and interpretation, issues facing historic house museums, exhibits, collections management (including archives), and volunteer management. All workshops are led by your peers – museum professionals working in the field, with lots of experience and knowledge of the issues we all face.

On April 18-19, the Ohio Historical Society’s Stacia Kuceyeski and Megan Wood will be leading a workshop at The Jewish Museum of Maryland in Baltimore. Connecting Your Collections to Teachers and Students focuses on using your collections to create meaningful programs for both teacher and students. Topics include learning styles, presentation strategies, audience types, planning strategies, audience types, planning strategies, and evaluation.
