Milwaukee Art Museum Junior Docent Program
For more than thirty-five years, the Milwaukee Art Museum Junior Docent School Program has introduced elementary school students to the vocabulary, elements, and history of art while developing critical thinking skills. Over three consecutive years, 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students visit nine times, contextualizing art into their life. To finish their third year students create a culminating project that is presented to their peers and family, then they become official Junior Docents!
Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra – ACE Program
The MSO Arts in Community Education Program is nationally acclaimed and enhances students’ education through the integration of music and art into the school curriculum, accomplished through six ACE program components. ACE integrates music and arts into daily core subjects, giving students a comprehensive learning experience. It is nationally recognized as a model in arts education.
Urban Ecology Center
The Urban Ecology Center gets people outside. On any given day you’ll find…
- classes of students from local schools engaging in hands-on learning about science, nature and how to live more sustainably
- community members using the array of resources we offer
- adventure seekers borrowing our outdoor recreational equipment, climbing the rock-wall in Riverside Park or canoeing in the lagoon in Washington Park
- people just visiting the Center, its staff and volunteers
At the Urban Ecology Center’s locations, people make connections between new and old ideas, their behaviors and their impact, and, most of all, with each other.
Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS)
PBIS is a joint effort between Milwaukee Public Schools Office of Family Services and the Milwaukee Teachers’ Education Association to effectively reduce classroom disruptions and student suspensions through a school-wide systematic tiered-intervention approach. Data shows that schools that implement PBIS with fidelity see decreases in disruptions and suspensions and increases in student achievement.
