Virtual Programs
Our virtual programs offer students and teachers the opportunity to immerse themselves in a topic that we specialize in at the Long Island Museum. Each program features several modules that allow for both synchronous and asynchronous learning.
Program content includes:
- Curriculum for teachers
- Images and/or replica objects
- Activity supply materials
- Recorded videos from the museum
- A live virtual interactive learning session with museum educators, using the platform of your choice.
Content is structured into modules for teachers to adapt to the learning needs of their students. Modules can be spread out over several class periods and used to enrich between 60 and 120 minutes of learning time.
Virtual programs can be delivered to students in the classroom or in their homes if your school is utilizing remote learning.
Programs are aligned with national and NYS learning standards, as well as the NYSED Culturally Responsive Sustaining (CR-S) Education Framework.
