Join us for our virtual professional development series for educators exploring Dickinson’s life and poetry. Led by Museum staff and special guests, each live, participatory workshop will provide context and exercises that illuminate Dickinson’s frequently cryptic poetry. Space is limited; sign up today for one session or all four! Attendees will leave each 90-minute session with new teaching strategies and context to connect to her poems and letters. While other educators are welcome, this series is especially designed for middle and high school humanities teachers.
Workshops are available via sliding scale. Your ticket helps provide low-cost programs and supports the attendance of other educators. If the cost is prohibitive, but you would like to attend, please write us at edmprograms@
Professional Development certificates are available upon request.
