Shelburne Museum

The Shelburne Museum will design, implement, and evaluate a new program of 12 hands-on, collections-based learning workshops for K–8 school groups visiting the Museum. The goals are to give students deeper and more direct experiences with the collections and to integrate school group visits to the Museum with Vermont state curriculum standards. The project will establish a multifaceted framework for ongoing collaboration between museum staff and teachers to create and evaluate education programs at the Museum. Three primary evaluation tools will be used: focus groups, online surveys, and an independent consultant hired to perform a comprehensive program assessment.
