Today is #Kristallnacht, also known as "The Night of Broken Glass." Some recommended reading on the connections between Museums, Jews, and Black Americans: Performance Counts - The Power of Museums.
This month’s edition of Performance Counts was inspired by our annual Impact Plan for The Associated!
JMM’s education department has not skipped a beat in the new year! School groups are enjoying the Scrap Yard: Innovators of Recycling exhibit, and the activities our department has created help students learn the stories of scrap families as well as use critical thinking skills to imagine what it might be like to work in a scrap yard. The student response has been incredibly enthusiastic, especially as we discuss the importance of recycling and taking care of the environment. They are quick to identify differences they can make in their own schools, homes, and communities. We are also receiving positive feedback from our visiting teachers, who cite how much they love seeing their students engage with the exhibit and activities. Teachers have also confirmed the effectiveness of the curricular guide we send them in advance of their field trip experience to JMM. In addition to our exhibit-based education programming, the team has been hard at work creating and refining projects and programs for a variety of different audiences, from hands-on student work to teacher professional development. There are three programs in particular that are coming to fruition over the next two months, and we wanted to share them with you!

There are many ways to measure JMM’s progress. For this month’s Performance Counts, Rachel Kassman collected highlights of what JMM staff learned in 2019. The great thing about gaining the weight of knowledge is that no January diet is required!

As today is the last day at JMM for most of our interns, we thought we’d share a bit about the experience we provide for this month’s edition of Performance Counts.
