Program Announcement
Learning
at Any Age: Creating Museum Programs for Age-specific Audiences
Monday, February 26, 2007, 9:00 AM -
12:00 PM
Hayward Area Historical Society
** Note: Monday day and morning time. Based on your feedback,
we are offering a new day and time for this program only.**
Museums and cultural organizations are meant to welcome everyone. But,
how can a variety of programs meet the needs of multi-age audiences?
What are the needs of these audiences? How can museums create developmentally
appropriate programs that make use of their resources and collections?
How do museums reach these diverse audiences?
Several Bay Area Educators will share how they have used principles
of child and adult development to inform their practices of creating
age-appropriate
museum programs. They will share strategies for planning, implementing,
and adapting museum programs for specific target audiences. They will
also discuss teaching approaches, curriculum design, and challenges
of working with different age groups.
