Exploratory Enrichment
The Exploratory Enrichment service provides a shared experience that
extends beyond traditional classroom instruction. Activities may take
place at various museums and institutes, as assemblies or visits to the
classroom and are all based on New York State Learning Standards.
Providing access to these resources adds a special dimension to curriculum
already in use and an interactive means of reinforcing learning, using
imagination and creative thinking. Whether the activity illuminates
a past event, reinforces aspects of the sciences, or provides a shared
space to explore nature, it engages students and reinforces learning,
stimulates use of imagination, and fosters creative thinking.
Requests for these programs can be made through the AIE website shown
above. The program code (Coser) for these programs is 412. Contact:
