Learning with the Museum
The Dufferin
County Museum and Archives is your community
partner in education!
We believe that museums are important partners in the education system.
Working alongside educators, museums provide meaningful learning experiences and programs
to support in-school lesson objectives.
We offer three styles of program designed
to enrich classroom studies:
*
On-site
museum programs provide students with the unique opportunity to experience
their community's history and culture in a stimulating learning
environment. Please phone for information
and to book your school visit to the DCMA.
*
In-class or "road
show" programs
are one hour presentations and discussions
which take place in the classroom, at your school. Each participating
student receives a complimentary day pass to the Museum and Archives to
continue to explore his or her community history. Please phone for
information and to book your school visit
to the DCMA.
*
Educational Kits are available
for rent for in-classroom use. Kit rental includes a detailed teaching plan, worksheet and
project activities, and museum artifacts for hands-on interaction.
Programs can be tailored to suit educators' needs. We also provide
research resources to educators to assist in program development, using our extensive
archival resources. Please contact us for more information.
A full list of program options is available on this web site.
Please click on "Program Options" on the menu at the bottom of the screen.
