Professional Development For Teachers

On March 21, 2012 By Kris Vidos
preservation arts and technology
Training will include professional development by the curriculum specialists at the New Jersey Institute of Technology’s Center for Architecture and Building Science Research. Teachers, educational administrators and local preservationists will learn how the curriculum was constructed to allow students to view traditional academic subjects through the lens of historic preservation. The curriculum does this by focusing on a specific historic structure or artifact through which to study the elements of its creation, preservation, and interpretation. Using this model, teachers can work together using a common architectural theme as an expression of the period under study through which they can integrate their respective academic disciplines.
