Student Services and Curriculum Development DIA staff consult with school teachers prior to field trips to ensure students continue to have meaningful, educational experiences that connect to classroom learning.

This year the DIA piloted two new Science, Technology Engineering Art and Math (STEAM) adventures, which were available in the fall of 2018. DIA gallery teachers continued to expand their repertoire of hands-on engagement strategies for all guided experiences.

In the 2017-18 school year, the DIA initiated a Teacher Advisory Group (TAG). Teachers from Macomb, Oakland and Wayne counties met quarterly to advise DIA staff and provide input on professional development workshops and online curriculum resources to support student learning.

The DIA hosted “Homeschool Afternoons” at the museum in February, June and November. Activities included art-making, “Drawing in the Galleries” and guided tours.
