Professional Development

Professional development at the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum is a unique experience. Workshops on a variety of topics are offered for educators, administrators and counselors to enhance their understanding of the bombing. In addition, participants learn how to use the resources and educational materials available here to impact school climate and teach students to make good choices – to act with respect, resilience and responsibility.

School districts and individual schools can also request professional development designed specifically for their staff – including a Museum tour, First Person program, activities using lesson plans and resources available from the Memorial, and more.
