Museums are a wonderful meeting ground for the shared interests of schools and families.
Field trips and family outings to museums enrich what your children are learning in school and help them link it to the larger world. Schools and teachers, through field trips and other activities, play an important role in introducing students to museums and using them as learning resources. By working together, schools and families can help children make the most of visits to museums. Research museums to find out permanent and temporary exhibition schedules, and how exhibition topics relate to the curriculum. Form partnerships with local museums to further engage children in learning both during and after school.
