From the Arab American National Museum website:

"Through a grant from the Institute for Museum and Library Services, the AANM presents a free three-day summer workshop to enhance educators' knowledge of the Arab World, Arab Americans and Islam."

Each day, participants in this institute will visit and learn about a different area of Palm Beach County.

In this institute, educators will join colleagues from across the country for a unique opportunity to collaborate with art experts and leading technology professionals. Through gallery talks, lectures, discussion groups, and hands-on activities, they will study the social context of American art. As part of an interdisciplinary team, they will share models for integrating art across the curriculum using technology, such as podcasting and blogs.

The institute is open to educator teams of two to three members, each representing a different subject area (i.e., language arts, social studies, science, math, etc.), from the same school or district. Each team member must be a full-time educator working in grades 4–12 in a public, private, or parochial school.

This year's five-day institute will explore the Civil War from the perspectives of ordinary people—soldiers, slaves, and women—fighting, living, and dying in a nation embroiled in war. By examining the war through the eyes of those who lived it, participants will develop a greater understanding of the American Civil War's impact and complexity. Participants will join the staff of the Museum of the Confederacy and guest lecturers for special sessions, tours, and discussions, designed to aid teachers of all grade levels.
