Principals and Teachers participate in Knight Education Institute: Art and the Common Core with a PAMM site tour and workshop.

"'Thank you'" seems so small for the experience yesterday. I was a little hesitant about committing to attend but I am so glad I did. I truly gained a better understanding of the connection of art education to the everyday lives of our students. I sincerely hope other schools get the opportunity to have the meaningful experience."
- Brenda Swain, Assistant Principal, Miami Shores Elementary

As a major step in the development of the Knight Schools Program, which will serve every third grader in Miami Dade County Public Schools, educators from selected pilot schools were inspired by a visit to the Pérez Art Museum Miami site followed by a workshop linking exhibitions and art making to critical thinking, creativity and curriculum standards for literacy.
