PMA Featured Exhibition — Discovering the Impressionists: Paul Durand-Ruel + the New Painting — Teacher Resources for the Classroom Our museum-based courses help teachers in all subject areas learn how to use artifacts to engage students in learning across the curriculum. Focusing on the importance of Paul Durand-Ruel (1831-1922), a vital figure in the rise of Impressionism, this class explores the development of Impressionism — its struggles, successes and eventual recognition — and reveals Durand-Ruel’s role in the movement. Paul Durand-Ruel was a practical, ambitious and visionary Parisian art dealer who championed this new style of painting.

Participants learn about this time period and style directly from works in the exhibition at the Philadelphia Museum of Art through the exploration of themes of culture, history and aesthetics. Course content is cross-curricular with projects applicable to all grade levels and subjects. Course includes lectures and demonstrations to provide context and understanding.

Classroom Management This course provides strategies for managing individual student and group behavior in the classroom. Develop a framework for understanding why children behave as they do in a classroom setting. Major concepts such as the drive to belong, private logic, birth order, goals of misbehavior, logical consequences, reflective listening, questioning skills and class meetings are explored. Examine types of patterns in students’ behaviors: attention getting, power struggles, revenge actions and students who appear to be academically disabled but who are not. Additionally, consider the links between the way adults respond to misbehaving children and how that response either feeds, extinguishes or has no effect on the target behavior. This course is a study of understanding inclusive classroom and examining adult response patters to children’s misbehavior. Techniques include discussion, lecture, self-reflection and case study evaluation of real-life classroom situations. Practical application for K-12 teachers in all subject areas.

Gifted Education in Inclusive Classrooms Explore techniques to improve instruction to all students in advanced programs and bring gifted education pedagogy into regular classrooms more effectively. Ideas from Renzuilli to Bloom to Torrance are discussed and demonstrated while participants investigate information on gifted research, gifted program models and gifted curriculum programming.
