Curriculum Guide

It is with great pleasure that we celebrate the publication of the International Center of Photography's Focus on Photography: A Curriculum Guide. The guide is an exceptional resource for those at all levels of experience in teaching and in photography, designed to inform educators about the many possibilities and interdisciplinary applications of photographic education in school and after-school settings (grades K-12). Written by museum educator and former ICP Coordinator of Community Programs, Cynthia Way, the guide draws on ICP's long-term experience and translates its practice for a much broader audience.

In an effort to make its value as accessible as possible, the entire Guide is available here. Depending on your grade level and particular interest, you can download each chapter individually. Feel free to use and distribute its contents as you wish.

Generous support for this project came from Andrew and Marina Lewin, the GE Fund, and the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs Cultural Challenge Program. We thank them along with the contributing photographers and reviewers whose participation was invaluable.

If you have any questions, please contact ICP Community Programs at 212.857.0061 or by email at community_programs@icp.org.

We hope you enjoy Focus on Photography: A Curriculum Guide!
