The Penn Museum Certificate in Museum Teaching and Learning is designed for Penn graduate students who want to incorporate object-based, gallery-based, and observational learning into their teaching pedagogy. The certificate program is open to Penn graduate students from any discipline, and trains students on developing inquiry-based discussions, engaging with objects in the classroom, and approaching complicated questions in museum teaching, including colonialism, objectification, and ownership.
Certificate Requirements
The certificate may be completed in one year or over multiple years. However, all requirements must be completed before the last day of the spring semester in order to receive a certificate for that academic year.
Fall 2024 workshop dates are forthcoming
