Mentor Teachers

 

Mentor Teachers

The Phillips Collection Mentor Teacher Program is the museum's best practices teacher program, dedicated to discovering and promoting the best methods for visual arts education across the curriculum.

Carefully selected mentor teachers from across the country and from a variety of curriculum areas work with museum staff to design, implement, and evaluate cross-disciplinary curricula that interpret works of art at the Phillips. Mentor teachers also help lead local teacher development programs and take a major role in shaping the museum's teaching kits.

To learn more about how these "best practices" teachers created and implemented their lesson plans and to view their students’ artwork and projects, go to Young Artists Exhibition Program.
