School Programs
Transformation AGO is almost complete!
School and Teacher Programs Development
We are currently developing new school and teacher programs to welcome you and your students back when we reopen in Fall 2008. Led by our Guiding Principles of Diversity, Responsiveness, Relevance, Forum, Creativity, and Transparency, we have been consulting directly with teachers, school boards, faculties of education, and professional associations to gather valuable feedback that will make our school and teacher programs meaningful to you and your students.
School Programs
From Kindergarten to Grade 12, our school programs will engage students through gallery and hands-on experiences that are innovative and fun! Inspired by issues found in the AGO collections and feedback from teachers, your students will explore favourite works of art as well as make surprising new discoveries. Linked to the Ontario curriculum, our programs are especially relevant and celebrate the rich diversity and creativity found in each of us! Look for more information coming soon.
Teacher Programs
AGO teacher professional development programs are designed to help in-service and pre-service teachers succeed at teaching and integrating the visual arts into their classrooms. Our teacher programs will focus on techniques teachers can use to facilitate discussion and interpretation of artworks with students, both in the classroom and in the gallery, and provide hands-on artmaking experiences you can bring back to your classroom. Our teacher programs encourage the use of public galleries and museums as valuable resources for learning and discovery.
In Fall 2008, come see for yourself how the AGO has transformed both outside and in! General admission is free at any time for Ontario teachers with valid ID.
