Abbe Museum

The Abbe Museum will use its grant to institute a comprehensive teacher training and evaluation program that will provide 16 free workshops throughout the state of Maine, reaching 800 classroom teachers. The project will support the Wabanaki Initiative, Maine’s requirement to teach Native American history and culture in all schools. Project outputs will include a resource CD for teachers with lesson plans, activities, and other useful instructional tools and content; 16 teacher workshops held throughout the state; an Outcomes Based Evaluation logic model; fully realized evaluation strategies that include front-end, formative, and summative evaluation; and a highly functioning Education Advisory Committee and Native Advisory Council.
