The Connie Towson Ford Teacher Resource Center (TRC) serves educators working with various grade levels, disciplines, and audiences. The center provides arts-integrated curricula and assists with integrating museum resources into instructional goals. TRC Programs offer educators the opportunity tap their own creative expression, enjoy introductory sessions for selected exhibitions, and find ways to connect the museum collections with engaging classroom experiences. 

Become a member of the TRC to receive discounts on upcoming workshops [1], borrow classroom teaching kits [2], and more.

The Teacher Resource Center will be closed for the holidays between December 24 and January 6. Beginning in 2013 the TRC will be open by appointment only. To schedule a visit, or for more information on workshops, contact Dale Hilton at dhilton@clevelandart.org [3] or 216-707-2491 or Hajnal Eppley at heppley@clevelandart.org [4] or 216- 707-6811.
