I engineered a high-stakes, case-based simulation that transforms students into intelligence analysts during the Cuban Missile Crisis. By synthesizing archival primary documents and historical photography into a cohesive narrative, I created an immersive learning environment that prioritizes critical thinking and evidence-based decision-making. This exists as a free downloadable publication that teachers can use in thier classroom, a facilitated experience at the Museum and a virtual fieldtrip. Associated teacher professional development provided historical context and pedagogical tools.

Session Chair: From Outreach to Deep Engagement: Beyond the One and Done Field Trip
KID Museum is dedicated to community engagement through equity and inclusion. As the Museum marks its 10th anniversary, we are able to distill our best practices in forming deep learning partnerships within our school district and now regionally and nationally. The Museum’s approach has always been to see schools, teachers and administrators as partners in developing impactful educational experiences that support students and teachers through a ladder of engagement, deepening that partnership every step of the way. This session will break down KID Museum’s approach to engagement from program design & delivery models to unique administrative and fundraising practices. All of which have successfully led to deep, year over year partnership, multi-visit and data-driven impact.
