Classroom Collaboratives

In this three-part series, a Museum educator works with the classroom teacher to design a customized program and will visit the school before and after the Museum visit.

In an effort to more closely align School Programs at the Whitney with classroom curricula, we are asking teachers to apply to participate in the Classroom Collaborative program. We are looking for teachers who are interested in using the spring exhibitions to enhance, enrich, and extend classroom learning.

We’re now accepting applications for Spring 2012. A limited number of spaces are avaliable, so apply now!

Collaboratives are free for New York City public schools, for all other schools the cost is $500. Please note that this program is only for schools within the five boroughs of New York City.


All programs address the New York State Learning Standards and focus on school curriculum areas including art, English language arts, social studies, and technology. Programs address the New York City Blueprint for Visual Arts Strands I–IV.
