Description
- Activities
- The recipient will use grant funds for the retention of educational staff in order to provide programming in-person and on its virtual platform, and to purchase the necessary equipment for overall enhancements and expansion of its digital education initiatives. Its education services are built on four foundational activities and specific grant activities will be directed to each. These activity areas are (1) teacher institutes and professional development designed to strengthen the analytical abilities of k-12 teachers, including professional development opportunities that will showcase recently reopened galleries and new exhibitions; (2) historyconnects, an online program for prek-12 students and teachers that draws on the museum's historic collection and aligns with the virginia department of education's standards of learning; (3) in-person student programs that allow educators to choose from a variety of field trips and other programs focused on themes found in virginia's standards of learning; and (4) virginia history day. The recipient hosts virginia's national history day program, which reaches more than 7,000 students from across the commonwealth.
- Expected outcomes
- The recipient will focus on conducting programs and reintroducing teachers and students to the museum's newly revitalized onsite field trip and digital learning experiences. Two additional professional development opportunities will be hosted to showcase recently reopened galleries and new exhibitions that will provide additional opportunities for field trips.
- Intended beneficiaries
- Primary beneficiaries will be the school children who visit the museum, which the recipient reports as more than 12,000 per year prior to the current pandemic. The numbers for student beneficiaries of online programs who will also benefit are potentially exponentially higher. Secondary beneficiaries are general visitors to the museum, reported as more than 106,000 pre-pandemic, and online accessors of the museum's programs, which again could be substantially greater. Additionally, virginia's national history day program reaches more than 7,000 students from across the commonwealth.
