Professional Development for Educators
Professional Development Workshops
All of MCM’s professional development sessions are innovative and research-based, and cater to professionals working with early childhood students or elementary-aged children. Our museum staff provides quality enrichment training for teachers to help improve their skills and grow their knowledge base.
