Professional Development workshops at the Museum of Arts and Design complement and expand upon educators’ existing knowledge of contemporary art, craft, and design.
MAD is an accredited Continuing Teacher and Leader Education (CTLE) sponsor with the New York State Department of Education.
Led by artists, curators, and museum educators, MAD’s professional development workshops enable K-12 educators to discover creative ways of interpreting and presenting fundamental concepts in all subject areas, using art, craft, and design as a bridge for comprehension.
Workshops take place during NYC Department of Education district-wide professional development days, with additional professional development opportunities online and onsite throughout the year. MAD also offers custom designed workshops for individual schools or districts. To request customized workshops, please email education@madmuseum.org.
Teacher programs are supported by the Cornelia T. Bailey Foundation, and public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.
