Collaborative Program

Hampton Mansion

Our Collaborative Program is an opportunity for teachers to use park staff and sites as resources or partners for class projects. The teacher and a park staff member will collaborate on a specific art, science, ELA, history, music, theater, math, or coding project that is part of your curriculum. The collaboration will include designing and sharing pre-visit materials and in-class Zoom sessions with an on-site staff member as research/inspiration/feedback for the project.

The Collaborative Program can include:

• Access to images, videos, documents, maps, biographies, and activities from Hampton and Fort McHenry
• Having park staff take new photos and video of specific parts of the sites for student use
• Up to two virtual meetings with park staff to develop a project, select resources and design project outcomes
• Virtual in-class visits (up to two) with park staff for 10-20 minutes each. These visits can include virtual tours of the park, examination of artifacts, and Q and A
• Park staff sharing feedback on student work or answering questions for works in progress via the Student Questions Form
• Opportunities to display student work, with permission, on our websites/social media.
