TEACHERS AT THE LOUVRE
JULY 15-28, 2009
In 2004, Rutgers University became the first American educational partner of France’s most prestigious museum, the Louvre. As a result of this collaboration, we are pleased to offer a two-week program featuring a 3-credit Master’s course. Exclusive and affordable, "Teachers at the Louvre" is an exceptional opportunity for teachers of French to earn credit while exploring the riches of the Louvre and of France’s capital, developing curricular materials for teaching art and culture, and exercising their French skills. The 2009 Teachers at the Louvre Program will be directed by Professor Mathilde Bombart of the Department of French, Rutgers-New Brunswick.

FRENCH 505 "Bringing the Louvre into the French Classroom" (3 credits) is a Master's level course that will address three questions : - What is the Louvre?
- How do I take my class to a museum?
- How can I teach French through art?
Every morning, the participants will be involved in activities (workshops, guided tours, lectures, discussions with French teachers) organized by specialists and teachers affiliated with the Museum. All activities will take place at the Louvre. No prior knowledge in history of art is required! Two afternoons per week, the participants will meet with Prof. Mathilde Bombart to work on ways to turn the knowledge acquired in the morning into exciting classroom tools. The goal of the course is the creation of a portfolio of lesson plans. For a complete description of the course, please go to:
