Permalink: https://www.eventscribe.com/2019/AAMers/fsPopup.asp?mode=presInfo&PresentationID=495658

While bringing students into historic houses presents a set of obstacles, these sites provide an enriching and immersive learning environment for students that can transport them back in time - an experience that can be heightened through the application of creative storytelling techniques. This session will examine tactics that promote successful school programs in historic homes and will provide participants the opportunity to work together to identify strengths and obstacles in their own historic sites and to brainstorm ways to creatively institute school programs based in storytelling.

Learning Objectives:

• Upon completion, participants will be able to implement magnetic programs for Pre-K - 12 students in historic houses.
• Upon completion, participants will be able to build engaging school programs intertwining historic storytelling and local curriculum.
• Upon completion, participants will be able to identify obstacles associated with school tours in historic houses and implement tactics to work around them.
