Using a Lens: Literacy, Creativity, and Documentation

Morning coffee and tea provided.

Apollo: When We Went to the Moon

Apollo: When We Went to the Moon explores human resolve and the societal influences that sparked the Space Race and other world events that defined the zeitgeist of the decade. The exhibit takes the visitor on a journey through the tumultuous era of the Cold War by exploring the people, the machines and the world events that altered humanity’s cultural trajectory forever — highlighting the social and political forces that pushed the United States and Soviet Union to sacrifice humanity and machine in order to be the first on the moon. 

The Museum is offering a special one-day professional development opportunity for history and science teachers, using this special exhibition as a springboard to forge connections between the objects on view and the historical context of technological innovation. Morning coffee and tea provided.

Black Voices: Advocacy for Inclusion in World War II
Two-credit P Credit Course (30 hours) for NYC 8th-12th grade teachers

A diverse cross-section of Americans participated in World War II on the battlefield and on the home front. Yet too many stories are still underrepresented. This course aims to examine the World War II experience through multiple narratives and perspectives, offering teachers a chance to develop a classroom practice which connects and empowers all learners to these events through parallel experiences.

The goals for the course are for participants to increase:

  • Knowledge of the diverse experiences and perspectives of people who participated in the
    Pacific Theater and on the home front.
  • Level of experience using oral histories, particularly in amplifying marginalized voices.
  • Confidence in the development of more equitable practices for all students.
  • Ability to apply principles of culturally responsive teaching and civil dialogue to the study of
    World War II.
  • Skills in integration of historical and contemporary resources and research that reflect and
    center the experiences and perspectives of non-dominant racial and cultural groups.
  • Skills in designing real-life connections between classroom content and students’ lives
    and experiences, while also building student capacity to identify and question underlying
    personal and institutional beliefs, norms, practices and assumptions that contribute to inequity.
     

    This course has been postponed until Summer 2024.

 

These workshops provide CTLE credit to participating educators, classroom teachers and paraprofessionals.

The Museum is an approved Sponsor of Continuing Teacher and Leader Education (CTLE) by the New York State Education Department. If you are interested in attending a CTLE workshop at the Intrepid Museum, please check this website for updated dates, times and topics.
