Teachers’ Survey: museum engagement during and post-Covid 19

A report by the Irish Museums Association (IMA) shows appetite for increased museum & school engagement and demonstrates the valuable role of museums in supporting teachers and students, showcasing how museums complement the curriculum through onsite and online engagement.

Among the key findings, there is a marked interest in low-tech resources in the form of blended learning, downloadable resources and material and ‘live’ online engagements in the form of short ‘ask the expert’ sessions., recognising how museums can assist students in understanding complex narratives and make emotional connections to academic learnings, while helping them develop analytical and social skills.
