Partners | Natural History Museum of Los Angeles
"My students feel a part of something bigger . . . They feel acknowledged and appreciated. This feeling of comfort has occurred because people are invested in them and want to see them succeed, connect, and understand."
—Luisa Barba, 1st grade teacher, Moffett Elementary School
Teachers Share Out!
"A lot of our students are English Language Learners, so if they can't say it in English, they can move and show us that a sabertoothed cat has fangs or that a dire wolf can pounce...and so the movement really empowers our learners, because they are able to have a voice."
— Luisa Barba, 1st Grade Teacher, Moffett Elementary School
Voices from the Community
"What's different about this relationship [with the Roundtable] is that this is really being created by the partners, by the partners working together. What ends up happening in the classroom is the product of everyone bringing their expertise to the table."
— Jo Ann Isken, Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum, Lennox School District

Past and Present Roundtable Partners
Since 2005, many committed collaborators have participated in Roundtable projects and activities. With a shared commitment to creative, interdisciplinary learning, Roundtable partners have been inspired (and are inspired by each other) to produce student experiences that reach beyond the classroom and beyond expected parameters of student engagement in and with the Museum's exhibits and collections.
