The Rosa Parks/School in the Park program deepens and enriches the educational experience of selected students at Rosa Parks Elementary by utilizing the tools and resources available at the San Diego Museum of Art. School in the Park at SDMA promotes and reinforces California State Standards in math, language arts, science and social studies using the artistic resources at SDMA. Lessons, studio projects, and classroom activities not only reflect these standards, but also use the Museum's collection as an educational tool. During their three weeks at SDMA, the Rosa Parks students are asked to explore, discover, develop, compare and create based on their experiences in the galleries and in the studio. To complement student advances in learning, School in the Park at SDMA develops confident student patrons of the San Diego Museum of Art. For more information please contact:
A.L.B.A. Community School Academy for Change This is the third year that the education department has been involved with the A.L.B.A. Community School Academy for Change (Alternative Learning for Behavior and Attitude). A.L.B.A has four school sites in the San Diego Unified School District for children grades three through twelve. The school is an alternative learning school for children who have violated the zero tolerance policy of buying, selling or being under the influence of drugs or alcohol, bringing a weapon to school, or participating in violence. Artist/teachers from the Museum's education staff visit A.L.B.A. campuses weekly throughout the school semester, bringing lesson plans, slides, art supplies, and a passion for art. This program helps students learn how to express their ideas and feelings in a constructive and eloquent manner. Throughout the semester, students visit SDMA, viewing selected artworks and engaging in relevant and thoughtful discussions.
