artlab 21 Foundation ESMOA

ESMoA will work with a community partner, Mychal's Learning Place, to develop a model to support free and accessible instruction for museum educators that will increase their comfort and expertise in creating educational internship experiences for young adults, ages 18-30, with developmental delays. An online learning platform - consisting of instructional videos, lesson plans, worksheets, questionnaires, case histories, and supplementary reading materials - will be created to give institutions tools that they can use to design and implement programs that will provide this unique constituency with real-world challenges, which can build independence and self-esteem while teaching skills that increase overall employability.
