The Mint Museums offer numerous free and low-cost resources for teachers, after-school providers and parents. Reference book libraries and a slide and video library support research needs on art history, techniques, architecture and collecting. K-12 teachers can earn certificate renewal credit through special workshops, and resources are available for use in the classroom. Guided and self-guided tours provide age-specific and curriculum-based lessons on world art and craft for preK-12 students. Four websites prepare students for their museum visits and link social studies lessons to art.

Innovative workshops for renewal credit are offered annually to teachers of all disciplines and grade levels. “Evenings with Educators” workshops, conducted on Tuesdays throughout the school year, provide opportunities to explore a variety of interdisciplinary topics. Summer in-service workshops introduce art teachers to the Mint’s permanent collection and new techniques for the classroom.
