Teacher Training Workshops
“A New Agora for New York” is proud to provide, as part of the Humanities Discussion program, free Teacher Training Workshops where teachers will gain the skills to incorporate museum exhibitions like the Smithsonian's Voices and Votes and exhibitions created by local museums into their classrooms and curriculums.
The New York State Office of Cultural Education (OCE) is partnering with the Museum Association of New York (MANY) to provide CTLE eligible workshops for teachers throughout 2025 with additional content provided by museums participating in “A New Agora for New York”
