Let MoMA teach you how to incorporate modern and contemporary art in your classroom. Our customized workshops introduce you to our educational approach, address themes and questions that arise in response to modern and contemporary art, and help you to create interdisciplinary links to your curriculum. We tailor each session to meet your goals and objectives as they relate to teaching with art.

Learn how to integrate MoMA's collection, and museum-based teaching methods into your classroom. Teachers of all subject areas are encouraged to attend this interactive workshop featuring inquiry based gallery experiences, reflection and discussion of integration into classroom curriculum with MoMA Museum Educators.

Learn from the staff and collections of MoMA, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, and the Whitney Museum of American Art. Connecting Collections, a collaborative teacher institute, will support you in developing techniques for integrating the study of visual images into your classrooms. You will spend a day at each institution and return to your school with the ability to create meaningful object-based learning activities that can be integrated into a wide variety of curricula and meet standards for student achievement.

If you are interested in teaching your own classes in the Museum’s galleries, apply to be a Modern Teacher. A required orientation session and workshop takes place in the beginning of the school year. This session focuses on the logistics of scheduling and conducting a visit with your class, important security information, and strategies for engaging your students with works of art. Upon completion of this required session, you may schedule class visits on Tuesdays only, when the Museum is closed to the public.
