What is the Center for Community Learning?
The CCL continues the Museum's tradition of support for educators. After all, the Museum was founded in 1913 by Boston Public School teachers! Our mission is to support teachers who are implementing curriculum frameworks in multicultural classrooms in innovative ways.
How to reach the Center for Community Learning
