About Extended School Partnership
ESP empowers 6th-12th-grade teachers to use the Museum as an extension of the classroom. Students and teachers engage in creative thinking and cross-disciplinary learning by integrating contemporary art into curricula and using the Museum as a learning resource.
Partnerships Include
Professional development for classroom teachers:
Museum Educators work with classroom teachers to integrate art into a curriculum and share engagement methods.
Contemporary art lessons with Museum Educators:
Museum Educators host contemporary art lessons in the classroom, connecting subjects learned in school to contemporary art.
Field trip to the Museum:
Students visit the Museum and learn about art.
Artmaking with students:
Students create artworks in response to their learning throughout the partnership.
Artwork feedback with Museum Educators:
Museum Educators provide constructive feedback on in-process artworks.
Final student exhibition:
A culminating student exhibition at MCASD
ESP is for all teachers across all content areas. The program will take place in-person but may switch to remote depending on changes to covid protocols.
