Offerings for Educators
Our programs offer content-rich, visually engaging, and interactive experiences that support the New York State social studies standards and align with the Common Core Standards. Our trained Museum Educators used inquiry-based discussion to guide teachers and students as they explore primary sources, as well as facilitate creative student learning activities.
