Jack Hadley Black History Museum

The Jack Hadley Black History Museum (JHBHM) will hire a museum educator to develop an education and outreach program to better serve its community. The museum will develop an education and interpretive plan by engaging consultants to conduct formative evaluation and to obtain feedback from teachers and visitors to better understand their needs. Based on the plan, JHBHM will develop and deliver standards-based lesson plans using object-based learning for the area schools. The museum will also refine existing programs, develop a training manual, and train volunteers to deliver improved guided tours. A pilot program for general audiences will also be implemented and all programs will be evaluated to measure the achievement of project goals.
