Professional Development

Immerse yourself in a half-day conference about a featured exhibition or garden. Engage with experts and discover strategies to help you integrate the content in your classroom. Connect with peers over lunch, then explore at your own pace. Drop by The Huntington’s Second Sunday event for more activities aligned with the conference theme.

Connect with other educators while exploring an exhibition after hours. Learn how to incorporate engagement strategies such as See-Think-Do to encourage close looking, participate in a related artmaking activity, and enjoy dinner. Separate workshops are available for grades K–5 and 6–12 educators.

Take a deep dive into a featured topic with experts, engage in hands-on activities, and discover creative ways to apply your knowledge to your classroom teaching. Leave with a kit of materials that you can take back to your class!

Learn from a Huntington curator about how to integrate primary sources from our collections into your classroom in these one-hour Zoom programs. Each talk aligns with a school subject, such as literature, science, or art. Ask the curator questions and interact with other educators in the chat.

Join monthly virtual drop-in sessions, where you can ask questions and receive support about The Huntington’s primary sources and programs. Join at any point during the session to learn how to find primary sources and fun activities that encourage hands-on creativity, troubleshoot lesson plans, and book school or educator programs.

The Teacher Advisory Panel brings together educators of many disciplines and grade levels to guide, pilot, and evaluate educational programs and resources produced by The Huntington’s Education staff.
