The International Education Consortium (IEC) and the Saint Louis Art Museum are pooling their resources to provide a full day of professional development for the annual Big Event for Teachers program. The event will take place Monday, November 5 at the Saint Louis Art Museum, beginning at 8 a.m.
The Saint Louis Art Museum sponsors the Big Event for Teachers program as a day of professional development including workshops, gallery tours, and art-making activities. The upcoming IEC event will focus on Missouri history through creative writing, storytelling, and visual art using the exhibition George Caleb Bingham: The Making of “The County Election.”
Workshop offerings include; Look, Listen, Learn: Teaching Through Storytelling, which investigate ways to incorporate dramatic storytelling techniques to enhance lessons and excite young imaginations with storyteller and performer Sherry Norfolk; American Vision and Ideals: Discovering America Through Art and Literature, which explores connections to history and literature in the art of Mid-America and the American West with Missouri art teachers Gloria Brazell and Diana Haydon.
