About the event
Teacher Expectations
- Schools and districts must send one teacher for every five registered students, with teachers attending free of charge.
- Teachers will lead small groups of authors or artists from various regions throughout the day. To encourage broader collaboration and interaction, teachers will most likely not work with their own students. This arrangement, successful for over 30 years, allows students to engage with peers and teachers from different districts, fostering new perspectives and ideas. It also provides teachers with opportunities to network and share best practices with colleagues outside their usual circles, enhancing the overall learning experience.
Registration Includes…
- Museum admission
- Snacks, lunch, and, yes, coffee
- The invaluable opportunity to be surrounded by passionate young authors and artists
The Day Includes…
- A museum tour where young authors seek inspiration from a piece of art to create their own work
- Constructive feedback sessions with peers
- Time for revision of their work
In the spring, students, teachers, and their families receive free admission to the museum to share their inspirations and celebrate the original work. This program unites young people and teachers from across the state who share a love for writing and art, providing a platform for learning, collaboration, and inspiration from the museum's world-class art.
Sponsorship
The conference is proudly sponsored by the Kettle Moraine School District in partnership with the Milwaukee Art Museum.
