An important part of the mission of the Smithsonian – the increase and diffusion of knowledge – is to provide professional development experiences for teachers.
The Museum delivers high-quality professional development, including workshops and volunteer opportunities through its departments and with other Smithsonian museums.
Workshops
Workshops include one-day introductory or refresher courses on topics explored by the Museum and its partners.
Volunteer Opportunities
An exceptional way to delve into the topics explored in the Museum is by becoming a volunteer in the Education and Outreach Department. Volunteers participate in ongoing professional development, including workshops, lectures, and informal discussions with staff and volunteers.
