Let’s Do History!Smithsonian Presents: Object-Based Learning and Museum Education Strategies Location: VIRTUAL
The Kentucky Historical Society is a proud Smithsonian Affiliate, and we are excited to offer a workshop on how to use Smithsonian National Museum of American History (NMAH) collections in your classroom. Participants will discover how museum objects and works of art broaden perspectives, reveal silenced stories, and make relevant connections to our world today.
NMAH educators will model teaching strategies to implement with students, both online and in the classroom, as well as introduce the Smithsonian Learning Lab: a free, online platform designed to share digital museum resources in order to create interactive learning experiences. These resources can help teachers engage students in deeper thinking and support content learning across disciplines. Several Learning Labs feature artifacts from the Kentucky Historical Society. Grades K-12. Two hours PD credit. FREE.

Seal of Arts Excellence Guidance Now Available
The Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) is pleased to announce new guidance for establishing a local Seal of Arts Excellence to recognize high school graduates who demonstrate an advanced level of specialization in one or more areas of visual and performing arts. The guidance can be found on the Seal of Arts Excellence webpage.
A new feature for creating a Seal of Arts Excellence on a student’s transcript will be available in Infinite Campus for the 2022-2023 school year. Districts will have the option of adding a Seal of Arts Excellence to a student’s transcript through the Graduation Tab that will include the date of completion as well as the area of specialization. Please contact [email protected] with any questions.

The kit includes advice for developing written procedures, guidance for online elections, forms to customize for every step of the process, and legal requirements.
