PMA Featured Exhibition — Discovering the Impressionists: Paul Durand-Ruel + the New Painting — Teacher Resources for the Classroom Our museum-based courses help teachers in all subject areas learn how to use artifacts to engage students in learning across the curriculum. Focusing on the importance of Paul Durand-Ruel (1831-1922), a vital figure in the rise of Impressionism, this class explores the development of Impressionism — its struggles, successes and eventual recognition — and reveals Durand-Ruel’s role in the movement. Paul Durand-Ruel was a practical, ambitious and visionary Parisian art dealer who championed this new style of painting. The extraordinary quality of the Impressionist paintings that were once part of the gallery’s stock is a testament to the dealer’s deep personal relationships with now-celebrated artists. Participants learn about this time period and style directly from works in the exhibition at the Philadelphia Museum of Art through the exploration of themes of culture, history and aesthetics.

Course content is cross-curricular with projects applicable to all grade levels and subjects. Course includes lectures and demonstrations to provide context and understanding.

VAST at the PMA — Art at the Center of Cross-Disciplinary Teaching Each summer the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s Division of Education offers K-12 teachers of all subject areas the chance to renew their spirit of inquiry through Visual Arts as a Source for Teaching (VAST). This program allows teachers to immerse themselves in the museum’s collections and its use as a resource in the classroom, with themes changing each summer. Teachers of all subject areas explore the special nature of art and its use as a resource in their classrooms.

Reinvigorate your creative spirit, connect with like-minded colleagues, and refresh your classroom teaching with new ideas.

Art invites us to investigate as scientists, analyze and interpret as historians, find order like mathematicians, “read” stories through its visual language, and use higher order thinking skills to become critical observers and thinkers. In short, art encompasses all disciplines. During this summer’s VAST, explore art as the

Through lectures, small group gallery discussions, writing and hands-on art workshops, participants engage in approaches and activities that can be used both in the Museum and in the classroom to promote looking, thinking, and writing. Sessions will be led by Museum Educators, invited speakers, and teaching artists. Teachers will be grouped into elementary, middle school, and high school work teams to facilitate meaningful discussion and brainstorming of curricular connections. All VAST participants will receive a resource guide with background information on

artworks, discussion questions, a resource list, and writing connections to bring back to the classroom.

The Professional Institute for Educators is pleased to partner with the Philadelphia Museum of Art to provide credit as part of this program. Teachers must first apply and be accepted into VAST by the PMA. A program fee is paid directly to the museum. To apply, contact the PMA Ticket Center at 215.235.7469.

By analyzing primary sources from the Library of Congress as well as engaging with arts and culture, we provide authentic experiences like no other!

You’ll learn what, exactly, a primary source is and why it has unique value in teaching. You’ll learn how to use the vast resources of the Library of Congress and their Teacher Tools.

You’ll develop hands-on activities and materials to implement in your classroom right away.

Classroom Management This course provides strategies for managing individual student and group behavior in the classroom. Develop a framework for understanding why children behave as they do in a classroom setting. Major concepts such as the drive to belong, private logic, birth order, goals of misbehavior, logical consequences, reflective listening, questioning skills and class meetings are explored. Examine types of patterns in students’ behaviors: attention getting, power struggles, revenge actions and students who appear to be academically disabled but who are not. Additionally, consider the links between the way adults respond to misbehaving children and how that response either feeds, extinguishes or has no effect on the target behavior. This course is a study of understanding inclusive classroom and examining adult response patters to children’s misbehavior. Techniques include discussion, lecture, self-reflection and case study evaluation of real-life classroom situations. Practical application for K-12 teachers in all subject areas.

Gifted Education in Inclusive Classrooms Explore techniques to improve instruction to all students in advanced programs and bring gifted education pedagogy into regular classrooms more effectively.

Ideas from Renzuilli to Bloom to Torrance are discussed and demonstrated while participants investigate information on gifted research, gifted program models and gifted curriculum programming. Many school services for gifted and talented students are part-time opportunities outside of the regular classroom. In this class, consider methods to provide more occasions to enhance learning opportunities within the regular classroom for these students. This course also looks at the theory that gifted education can address not only the needs of children who already manifest high levels of various kinds of intelligence, but may also promote the emergence and development of talent and intelligence in children who have potentials but may not have had the opportunity to develop them.
