 * The Space I'm In﻿ **

toc = = =Project Description= IU1 and the Mattress Factory Museum conduct the 3 teacher workshops to introduce teachers to installation art, and to "The Space I'm In: Tools for Understanding Your Environment," which will be used in the classroom/school setting. The workshops will begin with a foundation in installation art on-site at the Mattress Factory Museum, and then will continue at IU1. The second workshop will focus on exploring "The Space I'm In: Tools for Understanding Your Environment," and designing lessons to utilize the kit as a tool for enhancing art instruction which addresses critical academic skills. Teachers will be asked to meet with building and/or district administrators in order to determine appropriate lesson topics, based on identified weaknesses in school and grade level data. IU1 and Mattress Factory staff will work to support participants' creation of the lessons and the lesson plans will be uploaded to a collaborative web space for sharing and dissemination purposes. Participants' successful completion of the course will be determined during a culminating workshop where all lessons and reflections upon their outcomes will be shared.
