Student Services and Curriculum Development The DIA continued to increase K–12 services in Wayne County and exceed service agreement targets for student and teacher participation. Field trip options expanded in response to teachers’ requests. Every guided tour engages students with hands-on activities, and 2nd grade classrooms are a newly added audience for guided visits. Professional development connected K–12 educators with museum educators to explore student engagement strategies and/or to design specific curriculum resources in support of teachers’ learning goals. These collaboratively developed resources created experiences for students that utilized artwork in the museum as a resource for learning across the curriculum. These resources are available on the website for use by all teachers. http://www.dia.org/learn/learning_resources.aspx Page | 2 3/29/2017 Free Student Field Trips with Bus Transportation In 2016, 30,202 individuals participated in no-cost field trips to the DIA, exceeding the service agreement requirement of 16,000 by 14,202.
