Site visits to the Chicago History Museum and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago will frame learning for 30 teachers on the topics of narrative, identity, and representation. Museums provide multiple pathways into the stories of people and communities. However, decoding the narratives and connecting them in specific ways to standards and learning goals needs intention in order to not replicate harmful, dominant narratives that museums may also represent and teach\u2014directly or indirectly. A small honorarium is available for teachers at REACH project schools.
