How Can MAC's Programs Assist You

MAC is a member of the American Association of Museums and follows professional museum standards in all its programming. Museum professionals provide yearly training sessions for interpreters and museum educators in Social History, Architecture and Decorative Arts of the Victorian era, and all tours and exhibits are rigorously researched. The performing arts programs that MAC presents are also resources for teachers. MAC has been certified by the New Jersey Department of Education as a professional development provider.

MAC's museums, tours and arts programming can be a valuable teaching tool by:

 
  • Providing supplementary information on the history and environment of Cape May and its surrounding areas;

 
  • Providing information on a unique era in American history;

 
  • Stimulating cognitive and critical thinking skills;

 
  • Furnishing information in a non-textual manner and in a non-traditional venue, making history come alive;

 
  • Providing topics for enrichment activities across the curriculum.

 
  • Providing NJ Core Contents Standards-based programming, support materials and staff development opportunities;

 

MAC's public history programs are funded in part by an operating support grant from the New Jersey Historical Commission, a division of Cultural Affairs in the Department of State. The Cape May Music Festival is funded in part by the New Jersey State Council on the Arts/Department of State and the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation.

A correlation of MAC's educational programs with the New Jersey Core Curriculum Standards is available upon request.
