Science of Art programming is offered to dedicated schools that are willing to make an impact in their students’ learning. Teachers must make a commitment to schedule a 45-minute classroom lesson facilitated by one of our Museum of Glass Art Educators prior to the Museum visit. Following the Museum visit, teachers are expected to administer student assessments and complete program evaluations. Programming is available six weeks from January to March with two different topics offered each academic year, so it is important to book as far in advance as you can to make sure you get the date and subject you want. (See the dates for each Unit.)
