This summer, the Spurlock Museum is offering free, 3-hour workshops throughout Illinois to instructors of all kinds. The workshops will be an introduction to the activities and objects available for loan for the artifact-based program An Artifact Speaks. Two workshops are offered to instructors in Champaign, Ford, Iroquois, and Vermillion counties. They will be held at the Museum on July 24. The morning workshop will run from 9 AM to noon, and the afternoon workshop will run from 2 to 5 PM. A flyer is available for downloading and sharing. Illinois K-12 educators are eligible to receive 3 ISBE-approved Professional Development Hours (PDH) for participation in this workshop. These workshops are offered through an initiative grant from U of I Extension. Read our article, An Artifact Speaks to Educators Statewide, for more information on the grant. Interested instructors can register for one of these Urbana workshops or receive a full list of the summer workshop offerings by contacting Kim at 217-244-3355 or ksheahan@illinois.edu (email link).
