Workshop #1 – Primary Sources Beyond the Humanities
Auditorium (9:30 – 10:30 am)
Live Notes document »
Representatives from three diverse organizations will share how they connect their collections and education programs to the K-12 curriculum. Virginia Howell, Education Curator at the Robert C. Williams Museum of Papermaking, will share techniques used to incorporate historic artifacts and processes in museum education programs. Explore primary sources through history, science, and problem solving situations. Cantey Smith, Director of Education at Tellus Science Museum, explains how an object can engage students, enliven instruction and ensure learning. Attendees will leave with three fossilized teeth/plates to add to their collection. Sherilyn Narker, Senior Economic & Financial Education Specialist, at the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta will discuss the different types of archival collections available from the Fed and how users can access those collections. Participants will learn about strategies the bank uses to encourage K-12 educators to use Federal Reserve primary and secondary sources in their classroom lesson plans.
Workshop #2 – Trigger Warnings
Education Center (9:30 – 10:30 am)
Live Notes document »
Join Katy Malone, Outreach and Education Coordinator for the Zuckerman Museum of Art at Kennesaw State University, and Jill E. Anderson, history librarian and historian from Georgia State University, as they talk about teaching challenging topics and source materials. Anderson will share her experiences with using primary sources on date rape within her Honors freshman seminar, “Going Steady? Documenting the History of Dating in American Culture, 1940-1990.” Malone will discuss guiding the student workers, tour groups, and the community at large through the powerful and complicated exhibition Art AIDS America. Both speakers will offer strategies for managing difficult conversations, approaching sensitive materials, and balancing instruction with care for students, audience, and even the educator herself! The presentations will be followed by an open dialogue.
Workshop #3 – Performing the Archive
Authors’ and Writers’ Lounge (9:30 – 10:30 am)
Live Notes document »
What happens when we use our own bodies and present-day creative arts practices to become proxies for the archive? What materializes when our contemporary performances become the place where firsthand evidence from the past is stored in and accessed through flesh, breath, thought, speech, movement, and interaction? This performative lecture provides answers to these questions by demonstrating the methodology of “performing the archive” where one can employ performance techniques commonly used in creative arts practices like acting, songwriting, filmmaking, choreography, digital technologies, and more as part of the interpretation and analysis of archival documents. Featuring examples of her performance work with students, faculty, and professionals to embody verbatim archival material about black participants in the 1901 Buffalo, NY World’s Fair, Dr. Amma Y. Ghartey-Tagoe Kootin will chronicle how she and her creative team are curating their experimentations into a new professional musical theatre production entitled AT BUFFALO.
Workshops Block Two
10:35 – 11:35 am: Choose from two simultaneous workshops
Workshop #4 – Building Primary Source Sets for Students and Teachers
Auditorium (10:35 – 11:35 am)
Live Notes document »
In this one-hour workshop, Franky Abbott and Samantha Gibson will lead a discussion around the ideas, goals, questions, and challenges “behind the project” for the Digital Public Library of America’s Primary Source Sets.
Working in collaboration with an Advisory Committee of educators from around the country over the past year, the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) created and published one hundred Primary Source Sets on topics in history, literature and culture, designed to be be ready-to-use for both teachers and students from middle school to college. In this session, we will share and discuss some of the key questions raised during the research and development of this project: How did we figure out where we fit into the online education landscape? How and why did we incorporate educator review and expertise? What were the challenges and opportunities of bringing together disparate digital collections from repositories across the country? What does it mean to us to design the project for an audience of both teachers and students? What did we learn about how teachers use primary sources in the classroom?
Workshop #5 – Teaching Outside the Classroom
Authors’ and Writers’ Lounge (10:35 – 11:35 am)
Live Notes document »
Teaching Outside the Classroom is an exciting opportunity to learn how to teach with primary sources, how to connect historic and artistic collections to education programs and the K-12 curriculum, as well as how outreach can be provided to diverse groups. This workshop will illustrate how primary and secondary sources are featured in gallery, classroom, and community settings at the Columbus Museum, the Heritage Project, and the High Museum of Art.
The workshop will feature mainstream institutions as well as a unique project that fulfills the diversity niche often not featured in traditional settings. An exhibit will be showcased to complement the workshop, illustrating how primary source documents were incorporated.
Teaching Outside the Classroom will be facilitated by three museum educators, and an Archivist/Educator to offer an exciting, hands-on workshop to help energize your educational outreach and stimulate your own classroom instruction in a variety of ways.
Workshop Facilitators:
Kate McLeod, Head of School and Teacher Services, High Museum of Art
Eleanor Kinlaw-Ross, MLIS – Director, The Heritage Project
Christy Barlow, Academic Programs Coordinator, Columbus Museum
Kirsten Dunn, Community Outreach and Volunteer Coordinator, Columbus Museum
