Explore how to honor diverse beliefs and traditions in your classroom.

<p>Join us at the Field Museum on Saturday, December 13, 2025, from 10am-2pm for a professional learning opportunity designed to engage educators in deep content learning with the Museum&rsquo;s collections, with particular emphasis on Ruatepupuke II, the Māori Meeting House.</p>
<p>This program will help educators explore how to approach teaching about diverse beliefs and traditions with care. As a case study, we will look at how to incorporate artifact inquiry when an artifact, like the Māori Meeting House, is not an object but an ancestor.</p>
<p>Participants will</p>
<ul>
<li>Understand: How to honor diverse beliefs by incorporating non-Western stories and traditions into instruction.</li>
<li>Do: Role-play responding to student and parent questions about cultures and religious traditions that might be different from their own.</li>
<li>Feel: Prepared to teach about diverse beliefs with care.Registration is open to formal and informal educators of all levels.</li>
</ul>
<p>Illinois Educators will earn 4 hours of Professional Development for attending this workshop.<br />Registration will remain open until Friday, December 5, 2025, or until full.</p>
<p>Please note that this also is that last date that we can honor requests for parking vouchers for this event. Request a parking voucher <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdXEiJjj0AcTUS1SJupvOimCfudZclNO-xzLaHLa2aOUPfzyA/viewform?usp=publish-editor">here</a>.</p>
<p><strong>All attendees will receive a copy of the newest edition of Whale Rider by Witi Ihimaera.</strong></p>

A group gathers at the corner of a diorama case. One man sits a desk with a typerwriter. He looks up to a family of three standing over him. The man in the middle stands with arms around the other two individuals. Both are smiling down at the man seated at the desk. A black box with a glass front holds a rock specimen and is propped up against the leg of the desk.

Dozin' with the Dinos Policies

<h3>Welcome to Dozin' with the Dinos at the Field Museum</h3>


<p>See the Field Museum in a whole new light! Families and groups with kids ages 6 to 12 can spend the night at the museum during Dozin' with the Dinos.</p>
<p>Stay up late with scientists as the Field Museum comes to life in games, challenges, and stories throughout the night. Will you dissect owl pellets and identify animal tracks to become the next great wildlife detective? Or, will you embark on a paleontologist's expedition to learn how fossils form? Take on these adventures and more with the Dozin&rsquo; Institute for Nocturnal Observations (DINO) on our late-night mission of discovery. Then, grab your flashlight and explore the halls as the lights go out. This is a night at the museum you won't forget!</p>

<p>Dozin' with the Dinos is supported by Utz Brands.</p>
