Principles Guiding Our Current Response
“Don't limit a child to your own learning, for he was born in another time.” – Rabindranath Tagore
•Relevant and Responsive: 21st century learning, educational reform, Museum collections & research•Student-Centred: Pedagogical approach (constructivism) and teaching methodologies (inquiry-based, anti-oppressive)•Object-Based: What are the strengths of our collection? Leverage our unique curatorial assets•Accountable: Gather input and measure the impact of our programs on students, teachers, staff
![Page 25: The Role of Museums in Education Reform](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5883a83d1a28ab3b488b52ad/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Current Response to Reform• Invest in staff professional learning focused
on student-centred pedagogical approaches and teaching methodologies
• Develop new programs focused on key goals of reform (early learners, literacy and numeracy, high school graduation rates) in addition to curriculum revisions
• Incorporate digital technology as a teaching tool in school visits and plan for on-going investment in digital learning (equipment, staffing, virtual visits, online experiences)
![Page 26: The Role of Museums in Education Reform](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5883a83d1a28ab3b488b52ad/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Current Response (cont’d)• Develop deeper relationships with
educational stakeholders:
– Re-establish Teacher Advisory Circle to address barriers to visiting, advise on programming and marketing, teacher professional learning
– Work in partnership with teacher unions and subject associations to increase professional capacity of teachers to use museum as a teaching and learning resource
