Social Justice Group explores museum

This morning a group of dedicated teachers came to a museum talk at the Hands on Black History museum.  Teachers were given an intimate tour of the museum from its early beginnings to present day.  Afterwards a lively discussion explored ways teachers could create their own museums share information about the museum with their personal learning communities and hows the museum might become a traveling display in the future.  Teachers were then invited to walk around the museum displays and take notes, pictures and discuss  how to explore sensitive topics with a variety of age groups.  The thoughtful conversations and sharing of ideas among educators made for a stimulating and inspiring  morning.  Want to visit the museum?  Give us a call, the museum runs through February 24th.
