This program offers students a structured introduction to object-based pedagogy and the principles of gallery teaching. Through weekly seminars led by museum educators and curators, students develop the analytical, interpretive, and facilitation skills necessary to design and lead developmentally appropriate tours for K–12 audiences. The course combines close study of works of art with guided practice in tour planning, individual and peer reflection, and iterative refinement, which will culminate in the delivery of a public tour at the end of the semester. Permission required. Undergraduates from all academic disciplines are encouraged to apply. Students who successfully complete the Fall semester may be invited to join the Museum’s teaching roster and lead designated school tours in the Spring.
