Hear directly from a school and learn how their partnership with cultural institutions has been successfully incorporated into their curriculum. Through the Thinking Outside the Classroom (TOC) initiative, Lycée Français de la Nouvelle-Orléans brings learning directly into museums and national parks with external classrooms and site-based learning. Based on this model, learn how cultural institutions can support student learning through long-term programming. Brainstorm ways to collaborate more effectively with schools and other museums.

Learning Objectives:

• Upon completion, participant will be able to define some of the benefits of partnering with schools to provide extended learning opportunities.
• Identify ways to partner with a local school to develop a cooperative, site-based learning program.
• Upon completion, participant will be able to describe what is most valuable in these partnerships from the point of view of a school educator and museum educator.
