Workshops for Teachers
Through professional development workshops, at BHS or at your school, BHS education staff shares approaches to inquiry and document-based teaching strategies and assists teachers in using the museum’s collections to teach effective and compelling curricula. We teach themes that align with the content in your classroom, including European Encounter, American Revolution, Abolitionism, Urban & Industrial Change, The Brooklyn Bridge… and more!
Some recent workshop titles include:
- Immigrants at the Time Machine Lunch Counter
- Journaling with Jasper: Transforming a Dutch Explorer’s Journal into a Facebook Page
- Patriots Pop Up: Creating Interactive Portraits from the American Revolution
- Make your Mark: Bringing Historical Markers into the 21st Century
- What’s Wrong…or Right with this Picture? Investigating Jackie Robinson and the Brooklyn Dodgers in Film and Autobiography
Professional development workshops can also be scheduled at BHS in conjunction with current exhibits. To plan a professional development for your group of teachers, please call our Head of School Programs at 718-222-4111 ext. 237.

In a two-hour walking tour of BHS’s historic neighborhood, teachers learn how Brooklyn Heights was transformed from farmland into a robust urban environment that has contributed to the city’s architecture, culture, commerce, and industry. $300 for two hours with up to twenty teachers.
