Include an implementation timeline. <br /> g) Provide a bulleted list of other agencies, if any, with which your agency <br /> coordinates/collaborates to accomplish or enhance the Projected Results in the Program(s) <br /> to be funded. For each, give specific examples of the coordinated/collaborative efforts. <br /> h) Describe what would happen if requested funding is not awarded at all or if a reduced <br /> allocation is recommended. <br /> i) Include any other pertinent information. <br /> Program 1: Heritage Education: <br /> Traveling trunks: <br /> b)Three museum trunks contain lesson plans, activities, and objects for teachers to incorporate in interactive <br /> hands-on learning experiences. Areas of study the traveling trunks support: conflict, war and peace during <br /> the Revolutionary War and Civil War periods; Colonial Orange County daily life; and life as a mill worker. <br /> c)The program augments curricular and extracurricular learning about Orange County history; it provides <br /> hands-on interactive learning for a diverse group of students. <br /> d) Users of the traveling trunks self-identify as interested learners. They come primarily from church groups, <br /> home school groups, and county youth organizations. <br /> e)The museum distributes trunks to user groups. They contain sufficient instructions and materials to <br /> facilitate teaching by group leaders or other interested adults. <br /> f)The trunks are part of the museum's current outreach program. Available year-round, groups may rent them <br /> for a two-week period. We plan to rescript lesson plans and execute more frequent publicity FY16-17 to <br /> increase their use by a more diverse cohort of users. <br /> g)We collaborate with no other agencies on this project. <br /> h) If requested funding is not received, it will inhibit our ability to refit traveling trunks for more diverse <br /> audiences, and to more vigorously publicize the program's availability. <br /> School outreach: <br /> b)The museum's outreach programs for K-5 Orange County students enrich history curriculum opportunities <br /> for elementary school teachers. Multiple interactive programs are offered: a `junior curator' activity on two <br /> different topics, Native American artifacts and Civil War artifacts; a Colonial quilt activity; interactive looks at <br /> the daily lives of Revolutionary War and Civil War soldiers; lives of Orange County textile mill workers. <br /> c)Created to support and enrich NC's Standard Course of Study in history, museum outreach gives students <br /> an opportunity to directly engage with Orange County history. <br /> d) Each program is modifiable for different grade levels and classroom needs. Classroom teachers self-select <br /> outreach programs by booking classes directly with the museum. <br /> e) Programs are delivered in elementary school classrooms by the executive director. <br /> f)This program is already being implemented. Outreach opportunities are offered to teachers on weekdays <br /> from September through May, and serve approximately 2500 students during that period. <br /> g)We collaborate with no other agencies on this project. <br /> h) If requested funding is not received, it will inhibit our ability to modify K-5 program elements to more closely <br /> conform to NC Essential Standards, to renew and refresh interactive materials that support program lesson <br /> plans, and to more effectively publicize outreach programs to the Orange County K-5 teaching community. <br /> Teaching with Historic Hillsborough sites: <br /> b)The museum offers on-site tours and activities to school groups participating in the Alliance of Historic <br /> Hillsborough's History Fun Day programs. <br /> c)These programs help to enrich the teaching of North Carolina history in Orange County K-12 public <br /> schools. Participating students have the opportunity to experience history directly by visiting Hillsborough's <br /> historic sites. <br /> Main Application 5/25/2016 9:07:15 AM .. of <br />
